Do you have a suitable fire extinguisher handy, just in case? You probably had a piece of crud in the needle and seat. My biggest worry would be accidental fire, until all the gas has evaporated. I doubt if you got any gas in the oil, but that is an easy check, if you know where the oil level on the dipstick was before the gasoline incedent. Did the oil level come up any? As long as the spark plugs are out, once you're sure the gas around the tractor has evaporated, and the area has been well ventilated, and is free of fumes, crank the engine over being sure the ignition is OFF. This will blow out any remaining gasoline from the cylinders, and you should be fine. If you suspect oil dilution, change it. For any gas to get in the cylinders, the whole carb throat and intake manifold would have to be full, and, since you had so much under the tractor, it seems the drain in the choke area of the carb must be open.
