Okay the 2-1/4" opening on the front of the carb is for the air cleaner, which is the 2" pipe with no connection.
The tractor will run without the air cleaner attached, no problem. However I would not want to run it long like that. It has an oil bath air cleaner, so remove the bowl from the bottom, clean it out, and refill with new motor oil. Exact weight is not important, any normal motor oil will work, though SAE30 was standard back in the day.
The gas leaking means that there is a problem with the float and needle in the carburetor. It's likely that in the act of cleaning the carburetor, you displaced something and the float is binding up on the side of the carburetor bowl now. Cure it by taking the carburetor apart and installing a rebuild kit from your local CaseIH dealer.
The sparking is likely from a bad connection at the battery post. Cure it by removing and cleaning all parts of the connection. Look for frayed or bare wires while you're in there just in case.
