I added a keyed ignition to my '50 C this winter for some safety. I find my kids like to play on the tractor, plus I like the notion that it's a bit more secure when I walk away from it.

I'll have to look at my wiring diagrams again to be sure, but I don't think I've cut out the starter. So presumably, you could have the tractor in gear and hit the starter and get it to move a bit. The coil is definitely cold without the key, so it wouldn't fire, but it's not quite as safe as a clutch switch would be.

I plan on adding a dead man switch to it this month...not sure if it's necessary, but I've heard that you might need one for some parades, and I'm scheduled for the July 4th and July 24th (Pioneer Day in Utah) parades...whooohoo! I bought a jet ski safety switch, and I'm going to install it where my old, unused (now) ammeter is.
