Question My H tractor

How hard are the carbs on the farmall H's to rebuild? Mine is a 1949. It lacks SERIOUS power, like it will hardly take off in 3rd gear without dying. It seems like it is not getting eough fuel. I put new plugs, cap, rotor, fresh delo/new oil filter,new coolant new batter cables, cleaned the fuel bowl. It still will not rev smoothly eather.
It does not smoke or use any large mounts of oil.
PS anyone ever put rear duals on a tri front H
Thanks'
Dustin

Yesterdays tractors is a great resource, I go over there quite often. The carbs on most of these old tractors are pretty simple, I rebuilt the one for my Allis B fairly easily, haven't got it on yet though. But I rebuilt an edelbrock carb once too (carter afb style), and anything would be easy after that stupid thing. Also it may just have gel-ed up fuel in it. That happend to my grandfather's golf cart, just took the carb apart, cleaned it out with brakeclean, and put it back together, runs great now, and it had the same symptoms, it ran, but had zero power.

I have seen duals on a H or M, but can't remember if it was wide or narrow front. I do remember that it looked damn good though!
