Jacob Anderson is one source for some free YouTube videos on repairing them. He also is a reputable repair site if you need someone to do it for you.
I would start here

How things should look video is a foundation to build from.

Does it turn freely by hand with no power applied? If not, you have something bound up inside. If it turns, then look at the motor.

Yes it turns freely I think the belt is slipping way to far between the sheaves

I also checked the motor n tested with no belt on n it ran fine sounded good

Did you oil BOTH movable sheaves(control&floating)?

As he asks, if it is less than 1/2" across the face, the belt should be replaced. You can read one of a number of discussions about this in reading the post
