Lighter oil will definitely help. Straight SAE10, or 10W30.

A lot of it has to do with technique, too, and learning what the tractor needs to start. Every tractor is a little different; my Super A needs only a single quick blip of choke, but my one Cub needs the choke set and left there until it starts to stumble, for example.

Lots of black smoke and dribbling carb means you're giving it too much choke and flooding it.

Try cranking and blipping the choke. The engine should pop, and you can then feather the choke to keep it running.
