Run the highest octane fuel you can afford, Sunoco 260, or av-gas is the best, but 93 is next, and 85 will work ok for light duty.
For ethanol fuels one way is to start it & let it run 15 mins or so once a week, this will help keep the moisture condensate in the tank to a minimum, or add an ethanol based fuel treatment like sta-bil or sea-foam, use the directions on the container for long term fuel storage.
Keep the oil & filter changed as ethanol tends to loosen deposits that have built up over the years.
A battery tender to keep the battery at full charge, and tune the engine for quick starts. E10 will sometimes cause carbon build up on the plugs, so keep them clean or replace for quick starts.
If the tractor is starting just fine, & runs well as is, just the fuel treatment will be all you need.
