When you're ready to put it on, have the tractor near the house and send the missus to the county seat for a tube of relative bearing grease and two 6" postholes -- anything that will keep her away for a while.
Clean the end of the crank pulley up well with brake cleaner or whatever you have that doesn't leave any residue to smell up the place and pop it in the oven at about 250 for an hour or so.

Have a batch of cookie dough handy to throw in the oven to make the place smell like fresh cookies in case there was any oil or grease left on the pulley.
