Scott: You can do all those things Mike mentioned, plus probably a few he missed, however I question how much it will improve hp.
When I was a teenager back in the 50s, my dad had an H and a 300. H with C-152 and 300 with C-169. Other than the advantage of TA and IPTO, we couldn't see a huge difference. PTO work was the most noticeable advantage to 300. On drawbar we pulled the same 2 bottom plow, same 28 blade disk and same 4 section spring tooth. At the end of the day, H covered almost as much ground as 300.
Today I tinker around with SA, 130 and 140. Even though 130 and 140 are 10 more cubic inches, the Super A will still give them a hard run on a drawbar pull. I've had those tractors a long time.
Couple that with the fact these tractors are now 50-70 years old, be happy with what you have. IH ain't building these anymore. If your tractor pulling, got a bit of advice for you, the smart operator always wins.

Originally the company was called the Cleveland Motor Plow Company which began in 1912, then the Cleveland Tractor Company (1917) and finally Cletrac.
