Tractor runs great for a while then starts loping and dies. Will sit and idle all day but when you give it gas starts loping again like carb loading up with gas

Do a compression test to be sure you are actually running on 2 cylinders.

 

If that comes up good then likely you need to do a good carb cleaning.
