If you are really concerned pull the valve cover and the side inspection plate and spray a couple cans of carb cleaner on the hole mess to get it clean. Then fill it with 5W40 Rotelle synthetic. It isn't a true synthetic but it has a high level of detergents and suspension chemicals. If you don't change you oil very often due to low running hours I'd stick with the Rotelle synthetic afterwards.

Sludge in tractors like these is usually the result of water (from condensation) mixing with the oil. "Synthetic oils" (and fake synthetic oil) are much more resistant to the formation of sludge from heat or water contamination.
