Now when you clean up the gunk to get it going I think it would be safe to assume you go through the procedure to bleed the fuel system before it will start.
Have you considered the possibility that what is getting your tractor up and running is the bleeding of the system?
It only takes a minor leak for air to enter the system this can and will happen with absolutely zero signs of any fuel leaking out.

On my payloader for example it will start and run fine all summer long but just like clock work every year as soon as the temperature drops a gremlin that I have not yet located forces me to bleed the air out of the pump before it will start.
