Easy way to prove that the needle is sticking open: Remove the air cleaner from the carburetor and watch.

Things are probably gunked up enough that everything is sealed up tight and the fuel has nowhere to leak out. Thus, it can only get sucked into the engine.

Probably just a stuck float.

By the way, the worst thing that would've happened is the tractor would've caught fire from the fumes emanating from the gas that was on the tractor. No explosions. No engine blowing apart. There wasn't enough air in the engine to support an explosion with all that fuel in there. That's why the old girl wouldn't run... Even if you stuck a lit match in the spark plug hole, it wouldn't have exploded. The match would simply go out for lack of oxygen.
