Lots of things can keep it from starting.
Any history on the tractor? Have you ever seen it run? What all was done so far?
Have you checked the basics, spark at the plugs and ignition timing, fuel, compression?
For a good indicator of the basic condition of the engine, disconnect the air cleaner from the carb, hold your hand tightly over the air inlet of the carb and crank on the engine. You should get a steady, strong vacuum against your hand, and have fuel on your hand when done.
Might try starting it with the air cleaner disconnected. Sometimes they get clogged with dirt dobbers or mice nests. There is also a wire mesh that is often overlooked.
As for the oil out the exhaust, that may be carbon and gas dripping back down from raw gas passing through unburned while pulling it. Something to check though is the oil level. Be sure it isn't overfilled from gas contamination, especially if the carb was flooding.
If you suspect it may have been flooded with gas, pull the plugs, take a look at them. Even if new, they will tell a story. If they are sooty black, it is way rich or flooding. They may need to be cleaned.
If the plugs are clean, not wet with fuel after a choke assisted attempted start, there may not be fuel coming to/through the carb. (Remember the wet hand test above.) There is a drain plug in the bottom of the carb. With the fuel valve open, remove the plug, catch the flow in a clean glass. You should get a full flow, then slow as the bowl empties, but continue to trickle, not stop or slow to a drip. Look at what was caught. Should be relatively clean, no rust flakes or noticeable water on bottom. Be sure the sediment bowl screen is in place and clean.
