Why is it burning? Has it been sitting and the rings are stuck? If that's the case just let it sit with ATF in the cylinders and it will free up.
If it burns because the valve guide seals are shot you can extend the life by using some additive meant to swell seals. I have driven engines like that for years. Once they start that they don't seem to worsen so you just put up with it. It's also pretty easy to put new umbrella seals or guide seals in.
If it burns because it is old there's nothing that will help. Throwing a rebuild kit in it will help a good deal. You can't build up worn cylinders with liquid. If it isn't a heavy use machine you can buy lots of oil for the price of a rebuild. That's especially true if they rest of the tractor doesn't have enough redeeming qualities for a rebuild.
