Anything you can do on the tractor is purely cosmetic. Paint will make the area look shiny and dark, but still damaged, and will do nothing for the strength or durability of the tire.
The only true repair would be to take the tire off and have a hot vulcanized repair done to the area. That's where they dig it out to clean rubber, install new rubber, and "bake" it with heat to cure the rubber. Even then it won't be nearly as strong as the original tire. Onelonleyfarmer on youtube bought one of those vulcanizer systems a few years back and played with it. Had a repaired tire explode on him, a big tractor rear, and I can't say he's done a video with the system since.
Finding a place that does this kind of work anymore would be tough. Repaired tires carry a lot of liability, and not many places are willing to take the risk. Plus it's not a quick process. They're going to charge a pretty penny to cover the insurance bill.
