An engine requires 3 things to run.
Compression. Do you have a fair amout of risitance when turning the engine by hand? Vlaves can get sticky in an engine that has sat.
Fuel air mixture. Are you getting fuel through the carb and into the engine? Try stating it, then pull the plug and see if you can detect anf gas on the plug.
Ignition. In a gas engine spark. Just becues the plugs sparks in open air where you can see it dosn't mean you have a good plug. Under the resistance of compression it may not work. So if you have fuel and compression try a new plug.
I would guess that for what little info you gave that you have a fuel problem. That is the most common problen with an engine that has been sitting.
Did you blow out all of the passages in carb with high pressure air?
Also helps a lot when asking question to at least give the make and model of the tractor and the make model and spec number of the engine.
