I guess it sepends what you find when you drain the old fuel out of it. If it has a lot of rust and you have a good fuel filter system, fill it with fresh gas, run the tractor and be prepared to change the fuel filter often until all the crud gets out of it.
I have heard of people draining the tank, removing the tank valve and sending unit(if it has one) and putting a length of heavy chain in the tank and shaking it. The theory is that the chain will loosen the rust and it can be flushed out with water. You have to do it several times and I doubt you'll get it all. You can then buy a substance to coat the tank and and prevent further rust.
I have had my TO-30 for 10 years and it's a working machine on my ranch. I still have fine crud in my sediment bowl and use a filter between my tank and the carb to keep all the crud from getting to the carb.
