Your carburetor is "running over" 'cause of crap in the inlet valve needle and seat, a defective inlet valve needle and seat, or a bent, mis-adjusted, or "heavy" float.
That is why the tractor is "flooding", as well as why there is gasoline in the carb inlet "air horn" that is leaking out past the choke shaft.
BTW, there is a sintered bronze filter in the bottom of the air horn that hould be letting the excess gas leak out BEFORE it gets "deep enough" to leak out past the choke shaft. It must be clogged with "varnish".
It's ALWAYS a good idea to shut the gas valve off at the bottom of the tank to avoid this from happening while the tractor sits unused.
