I'm wanting to know if anybody knows if one carburetor is better than another for H.P. on a farmall c? That bolts to the stock manifold.
Thanks

I prefer the MS carberator but I can't say it makes more power than the others .

Probably none is better than the other.A SC was rated at certain HP.Didnt matter wich carb was used.You want more ponies.A different carb is not the way to get it.It will take MONEY......

I'd like to know too. I thought as far as HP, you just needed the proper ratio of gas to air mass, whatever that was supposed to be, and you were more or less done. The rest of carb design was details of matters of adjustability, response time, lean and rich and etc.,

But this isn't a chevy V-8 where u can buy a diff intake, and put on a 750 double pumper carb.In this case you need more compression,and the only way to get that, is to deck the block, and it's far to costly and labor intensieve and two trip's to the machine shop, It simply isn't worth it to mow hay with!!! Puts some new pistons it, if it needs them and shave the head 30 or 40 thousnad's to make sure it's true! Good Luck

I agree with the others, raise the compression.

Raising to compression will help but you will need more air and fuel to go along with it.
I have had great luck with Carters and zenith carbs.

Just swapping out one carb for the next is NOT going to help , there is more to building PONY POWER and if you want HORSE POWER then you best have a BIG CHECK BOOK . Your trying to make power out of a one barrel up draft carb with out adding compression and a better cam and with out installing bigger intake valves . then ya have to figure in what RPM range your going to run . As to just taking a couple drill bits to your stock carb could really screw you up with out knowing what your doing Then there is the ing. timing thing of getting the dist curved out . And before you get some crazy idea that OH wait i see this add of a certain socalled carb expert in some add some place save your money . If you want to go play the pulling game then first build some extra Cu In and higher compression because the guy that is pulling ahead of you and behind you already has . There is NO such thing as STOCK tractor pulling anymore . Anymore STOCk just means STOCK block and head . just like my STOCK S/MTA , it is STOCK Block and HEAD but it is not a 264 inside and the NEW cam that i put in because the old cam tore out the key way for the cam gear is a 450 cam . as for the H/p it is not STOCk as it is now wright at 60 H/P . Is it a top winner at the pulls ???? not hardly i would have to do away with the 4 1/8 flat tops and put in a set of High alt. pistons then change the intake and exhaust manifold to a 450 and add a 450 head with some bigger valves and some trick head work then go to work on the carb . Now do i want to go and spend a bunch of money to go win a trophy or ribbion , hat, grease gun and bragging wrights at the coffee shop on Monday , NOPE plus the added expense of hauling it here and there . The vary best tractor pull i have ever been to was one that no prizes were given , there was no entrance fee , no club to join and it was run what ya brung and the picnic after the pull where all the wimmen folk brought coverd dishes and we all sat around eating hamburgs and hotdogs and what ever the wimmen folk brought to feast on .The track was throwen together at a buddy's sale lot with the help of about a dozen of use in the course of three days of track building and scale installation one small add in the local farm paper and one heck of a fun time had by all .

Well said.

Tractor pulling, like NASCAR, has gotten far away from its roots.

I can beat ANY carb with fuel injection.

I'm thinking he just wants to perk it up a little to have more power. Not a fire breather with 18.4's double cuts. But I could be wrong.

That is why I am a proponent of fuel injection.

Thanks Kub6040
This others think i needed piston and head info
which had been done and done. Its carburetor time.

I have had good luck with Zenith and Carters.
The Venturi was opened up on the carter and jetted right. 32hp out of a 133 in a B and I use it for plowing snow or gardens,Pullng or just taking my son for a ride.
Same with the Zenith on my Super C

Thanks shaggy
