So buddy who was borrowing my tractor actually put gas in the diesel tank. Ran for less than a minute. There was roughly a quarter of a tank of diesel already in there added roughly 2 gallons of gas parked as soon as he realized he put gas in there. What should be my next steps besides draining tank replacing fuel filter? Thanks for all the help in advance.

Drain completely, replace filter, and fill tank with fresh diesel.

Your next step should be to cease loaning your machinery to anyone!

Clearly and he's borrowed my tractor many at times no issue just one of those things trying to help me out and may have created a big mistake.
