This also reminds me of the problem I had with my Cockshutt 40 a couple 
of winters ago. We discussed it at great length here on the list and 
tried a lot of solutions but the problem finally turned out to be kernel 
of wheat stuck in the outlet of the fuel tank. It allowed enough fuel to 
flow for idle and low rpm but under load the tractor just starved for 
gas. After removing the obstruction the tractor worked just fine.
