"91 B1750 2wd 750hrs loosed power while running bush hog only when R side of tractor is downhill. Otherwords, driving across a hill with exhaust side uphill. Once I turn up or especially down, power comes back. Hill doesn't have to be that steep. No smoke, just power goes down like putting brakes on. Any ideas appreciated.

When's the last time the fuel system service was done? Kinda guessing from here but it sounds like a fuel system problem. Might even be something in the tank that covers the pickup according to position.

What all does the fuel system service include. I don't think I've done this since owning it for 3 months. I do put fuel stabilizer in each tank all year.
If something possibly floating in tank and blocking pickup, would draining tanks and inspect the inside work? Thanks.

I'm not "intimately" familiar with this model, I was hoping someone would kick in that is..... You have to have a fuel filter inline somewhere. Follow the fuel line if necessary and I would pull it and inspect it. It may well have never been changed if you've only had it for 3 months. Do a search online and see if you can find a service manual. In fact the owners manual would have this type normal maintance in it as well. I remember one of the dealers had several of the manuals online, I just can't remember the site off-hand, sorry.
