WD power

My WD does not have the power it had. I flip it, lucky to be alive.  Could it be timing? I had to replace exhaust pipe and seals on the manifold, the Bendix spring in the starter, battery, I pull the carb and cleaned it.  It idles fine but does not have the power a WD should have.  I want to tell all I had a 16 ft. trailer loaded with soil and I was backing down on a pond dam, on and angle to fill a gully.  I jack knife this load just a little and this load pull my tractor back, trailer hit in the gully and stop, tractor flip back over on top of the load of soil, I landed in the corner of the trailer where there was no soil.  I was trapped for 2 hours before someone found me calling for help.

Unless it landed on the dist I'd be more inclined to think fuel.

How were you trapped?  Was the tractor on top of you?  YES, you are lucky to be alive!!  Have you got any pics of the tractor after the accident?
Did it have the power it is supposed to have when pulling that wagon of dirt?
TOO many variables without knowing how it was running before the accident, especially since it had sat for a year.

Possibly gunk got knocked loose inside of carb and is plugging orifices.  I'd start there first.  Sounds like something is stopping it from getting enough gas.
Could be anything with the valve train, broken/stuck rings, the distributor e.g. cracked cap, points chipped or broken, weights inside broken and out of place.  If the timing was off, I don't think it would start very well at all. 

You may want to open up the main jet by one turn to see if that helps any. Fuel would also be my first guess too assuming the manifold is not cracked or warped so much that you are not getting a good seal. You can also spray carb cleaner or even WD40 around the manifold to see if the engine speeds up telling you there is a leak.

Check the air cleaner, if upset the oil ran up into the mesh, if it got any dirt sucked into that it could be plugged.  Didn't have your issue but my WD got weak as years went by, tried alot of stuff, finally pulled air cleaner apart and washed outthe mesh, made a new tractor out of it.

When it flipped all the fluids in the engine went upside down too. Especially if it sat like that for a while, with any sort of damage, could be an excess of oil somewhere, coolant leaking into a cracked manifold area and getting in somewhere, carbon, or rust from cooling system getting in and blocking passages, the list goes on...Check the fuel lines and bowl also, make sure there isn't something that got bent and pinched off flow or cracked and leaking. Also, what was mentioned about the air cleaner is true, take your air cleaner hose off, if it restores power you need to clean that out for sure.

By the way you said it smoked some. Does it smell gassy at all? If it does then I would suspect the air filter like others suggested. If not, then I would suspect the rings.
