Ferg,

Your title should be a little more ......exact and specific!;)

Let's back up the bus a bit ........

IT would work well a few days/weeks ago - and NOW all of a sudden it is NOT working as it once did?

What happened before this happened? DID you add fuel, or did this just happen out of the blue?

ANY smoke as it bogs down? When you say it will not go up any grade in high range ....did it do that before?

Sounds to me you still have a fuel delivery problem - is there an electronic fuel pump or other?

If you are absolutely certain of your fuel supply (open line, check fuel flow from tank to ensure not obstruction, etc.) check your air filter and air path to intake manifold.

Idle engine, crack each injector line at the injector (not at the pump) note if you have same RPM loss on each one.
Is the jet start valve on the side of the injection pump closed?

Probably a stupid question, but is there a possibility something is going on with the brakes on this thing? Have you lifted the rear and made sure the wheels spin free (be sure it’s in 2wd)

my tractor drives just fine with the parking on, only loses power when you put a good load on it 🤣

Make a simple video of it doing what it's doing and post it on you tube and give us a link to see it, it might help get to the bottom of it quicker!

Remove the fuel line from the side of the injection pump ( shut off fuel flow to filter) , then bottle / Jug feed fuel to the injection pump and see if it still does it.
