Anything you can do on the tractor is purely cosmetic. Paint will make the area look shiny and dark, but still damaged, and will do nothing for the strength or durability of the tire.
The only true repair would be to take the tire off and have a hot vulcanized repair done to the area. That's where they dig it out to clean rubber, install new rubber, and "bake" it with heat to cure the rubber. Even then it won't be nearly as strong as the original tire.

We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
