Lack of power

[kissingen]

I have a 3320 that has been an excellent tractor. Tonight while mowing hay the engine started lugging down, whenever I needed power, almost to the point of stopping. Whenever I stopped the mower the tractor sounded great. Seems like one or more cylinders are not working. When the tractor is not under a load the engine runs fine or so it seems. The tractor has 1100 hours on it. Any ideas on what/where I need to look to correct the problem?
Thanks for the help

Also there is no smoke (white or black) coming from the exhaust.

I finally got around to replacing the fuel filter and it did need replacing. Anyway while removing the fuel line I broke off the connector that the fuel line goes on (the banjo bolt goes through the connector) that bolts on top of the fuel filter. Does anyone know what the item is called and the part number? Thanks in advance.

I am back to running the tractor, when I replaced the fuel filter and cleaned out the water in the fuel filter canister, the tractor ran great. Amazing how water and trash can make a difference in how a tractor runs. LOL Thanks for the helpful advice.
