How are you verifying that there's airflow through the air cleaner? Frustration does funny things to people, like cause them to assume something because it's "obvious." Can you blow air through the air cleaner from the carb end, and have it come out through the wire mesh? There are only two possibilities:
1. The air cleaner, or the pipe running from it to the carburetor, is clogged.
2. The engine is so weak and tired that it can't pull air through the air cleaner. #2 is so unlikely that it's laughable. 99.9% chance that it's #1. Take the air cleaner and the pipe off the tractor. Pull the oil cup off. Get out the blow gun and a rag, wrap the rag around the blow gun until you can stuff it into the pipe with a decent seal. Get the air compressor all pumped up and give 'er a good shot of air. You should get air blowing out through the mesh. I bet you won't.
