Looking at parts diagrams, doesn't look like this tractor has fuel shut off valve off tank like my 1864 does. Cheapest thing to do is decrease air pressure on regulator of compressor and take the fuel feed line off fuel filter(one that comes from tank), leave gas cap tight, and blow some air into that line gently to see if you can hear air come out of gas cap.Should be a pinhole on top of cap-if you can hear or feel air come out of that hole,cap is ok. Next step is replace the fuel line-your line may be degrading from the inside and getting spongy, collapses when it gets hot and restricts the fuel. Should be either 1/4" or 5/16" fuel line-go to a Napa or similar store and buy some(take a ruler and try to measure all fuel line you see) -runs between $1.50-$2 per foot, just make sure you get enough. I've been looking up parts on Shanks Lawn Equipment site, pretty easy to navigate. Used it to get part#s, and you see what's NLA for your machine....
