The tractor will behave the same way if it is getting way too much gas, or way too little. It will stumble and eventually stall.
The fact that the tractor was blowing (black?) smoke when it did run, and gas was running out of the carburetor indicates that it is getting too much fuel.
A float/needle/seat problem would cause the gas to run out.
Choking the carburetor too long would cause gas to run out.
The needle/seat may not be sealing up, and needs to be replaced. The float may be sticking, and needs to be adjusted. It can sometimes be difficult and frustrating to identify a sticking float because you can't see how the float interacts with the bowl, and you can't see it catching on the side. The float has to be aligned PERFECT or it will hang up on the side of the bowl and drive you nuts.
The amount of choke you need depends on the tractor. Some need none at all. Some need just a quick blip. Some need the choke set and left there until the tractor runs for 1-2 minutes. You need to get the feel for what the tractor wants/needs. Start with no choke at all and work your way up, instead of starting with lots of choke and wondering why the gas pours out and the tractor runs like garbage.
