Got up pulled the plug, grounded it like u said and we had fire. Guess Im chasing a gas issue now.

You said the plugs were wet and you could smell gas so could it be flooded?

When I first started working on it and pulled the plugs they were wet. After new plugs were installed and chasing the fire issue they were not. When I checked for a spark this morning they were not. Im draining the gas as we speak.

There's a electric fuel shut off solenoid on the carburetor that could be bad. I can't think of a reason why reversing the polarity would hurt it but you never know. Does your tractor have the Kohler Courage or Command engine

I just filled it with new gas and a new fuel filter, when I was trying to get fuel back to the carb. the battery has gotten so weak it would not turn the motor overanymore. So off to the charger to charge it back. I have the courage engine.
