I run my 10-20 on kero and when I switch the tanks back and forth from starting gas I notice the kero and gas don't mix. there are two levels in the sediment bowl, one kero the other gas. The kero always goes to the bottom since it is heavier than gas. I think you might be ok since the kero would have gone to the bottom of the tank and would have been used up first on your jaunt around. there may still be a little kero left depending on if the tractor uses a gallon up in 45 min. The worst that will happen is it may sputter a bit when cold starting, and the oil may be thinned out a little with kero in the blowby.If it doesn't start at all you will have to either drain some fuel until gas comes out and that includes the carb, or heat up the intake manifold carefully and evenly so it will vaporise the kero in it. It should run fine then if the plugs aren't wet with kero.
