If gas won't cut it (and it won't cut old solidified gasoline) I would open a hole from the bottom to let gas through. I've used a drill bit in my hand.
Then I install an inline fuel filter to catch bits of hard material and put the tractor in service. Eventually you will find the light ends in new gasoline will dissolve the old deposits but it takes years. In the interim, the inline filter keeps the carburetor clean.
I have done several tractors this way and rarely have to change the inline filter. If you are a purist replace the entire fuel line so you can reinstall it later. Likely it is not the factory fuel line anyway.
