Ok, it looks like I've got things running again, and so here is what I did:
Re-assembled the fuel filter per the diagram and that made it so that the height was correct and I could get a snug fit with the filter and bowl. Fuel was not flowing into the filter/bowl and so I had to consider how to apply pressure like Jim and Ron were suggesting.
I implemented a very "low-tech" solution and probably one you should not try at home. Basically I performed CPR on the tractor by providing my own pressure at the fuel tank opening while my son cranked the engine. After a couple of tries, we saw some dripping and then a steadier flow. We continued this combination a few times, sprayed some carb starter and it cranked right up. No leaks so far as of this morning.
Thanks for the help! This tractor newbie knows way more about his fuel system now than he planned.
