You need to make sure you're getting gas into the carburetor. If that carb has a plug in the bottom remove it and hold a clean container under it to catch the gas. Should have a full stream of gas.
If it doesn't unhook the gas line at the carb and check it for a full stream. If that's ok, remove that tube fitting where your gas line came off. Be careful you don't crush the fitting. Look for a screen behind that fitting. It could be blocked with rust & crud. Hold your hand over the throat of the carb and see if there's good suction on your hand. The tractor may start
if the ignition is on. I would remove all the sparkplugs and squirt engine oil into each plug the crank over the engine and shoot some more oil in there and replace the plugs. If there's not much suction on your hand is a sign there's not very good intake manifold vacuum. This is needed to suck that gas into the engine. Low vacuum could be worn sleeves, rings and valves not seating. A compression check will tell you what shape the engine is in. Hal
