Nice tractor!! I used to have one and really liked it.

If you are trying to repair we would need to see some photos to assess the damage and see if it is repairable.

If you want to replace, then a quick search found this:

Crushed & torn, or just imploded from a bad vacuum break ? Put a Schraeder valve in the cap and blow it up with regulated air pressure a few psi increase at a time. If you are worrying about blowing up your place, it's diesel. It would take more pressure to burst it than you have compressor for. Filling it partially with water will also relieve your anxiety, but now you have water in a fuel tank. Clamp off the drain line before the tank filter. The bowl is plastic.

When inflating,, fill the tank as much as possible with water first.
Water stores WAY less energy as compared to air.

No boom with water, it just leaks out.
Compressed air gets CRAZY amounts of energy, even at a few PSI.
