Robert, Yep a good drain and refill and filter change should purge the gas from the oil and crankcase, (you should also take a look at the air cleaners lower oil reservoir bowl, if it has one, it may have gas in it) but Im puzzled as to how gas got there in the first place???? I alwaysssss sssss turn the fuel off on my tractors (usually at a sediment bowl shut off or an in line shut off valve) upon shut down, so in case the needle valve and seat in the carb leaks or the float fails etc, I dont drain gas into the crankcase. Regardless, if the choke were open or closed, it shouldnt over flow the carb bowl and get into the engine if your carbs needle and seat shut off is working and your float is not leaky and operating correctly. You dont mean you just ran the engine over choked and got excess gas in that way do you????? Also, does your tractor have the sediment bowl equipped with the low oil pressure safety fuel shut off???? Its the one with oil lines and diaphragms that monitors oil pressure and shuts off the gas if theres no oil pressure. If so, they can get bad with leaky rubber diaphragms which can cause oil to mix with gas. Anyway, be sure to shut the gas off upon shut down, find out why so much gas got into your oil (carbs needle and seat, carbs float {they can leak and sink to bottom}, sediment bowl safety shut off system) and let us know. Good Luck n God Bless, John T Nordhoff in Indiana
