I don't know why I didn't think of this sooner...
Try some SEAFOAM. If this is a tractor that's been sitting around a while, it may be due to stuck rings.
What I did was transfer a can of Seafoam into a recycled spray bottle (I think it was a KABOOM cleaner bottle), and sprayed about half of it into the vacuum port on the intake manifold (the little pipe plug on the side). The tractor was running at half throttle and I was spraying as much as I could without killing the engine. Shut 'er down and let 'er sit for a week. Next week I started it back up and it smoked like a diesel for a while, then stopped. Hasn't smoked a lick since.
Some will tell you that all Seafoam is is gasoline or some other common solvent. I don't care what it is. The technique worked for me.
