You can improve the engine power to a point, but a B is a light tractor so there is a limit to what it will do even with more power.
Overbore 3-1/8 high compression pistons is the easiest & most common upgrade on these.

You can tell whether it's a B or BN by measuring the length of the differential shaft housings (sometimes mistakenly called an axle housing). It's the thing many folks sit on on the left side to ride along. On a B they are about 22 inches long on both sides, on a BN they are about 18 inches long.

Br careful making the front end too strong. The next thing to give might be the front of the block where the steering box bolts on. I've seen it happen.
