What would cause old tractor to loose power when worked hard

Posted by luke0927 on June 10, 2014 at 10:44:26 from (128.221.224.58):

I have a 51 farmall Super A, that my grandpa has
turned over to me. It has done this for years.
Just doing light garden work etc..it runs fine.
But if you work it hard plowing a lot for a good
time it will just loose power and idle down. If
you turn it off let it cool it will run back fine.
I"m probably going to redo at least the top end
this winter if not the block also. You think it
just gets real warm from working hard and loosing
compression?

I"m not super engine savvy so trying to just see
what some of you think it would bee.
