Safety is always paramount around older tractors. however, don't forget, if you are crank starting a tractor, you can't do it from the drivers seat.
Safe starting practice is: Neutral, and brakes set. I got into the habit of turning the engine over 1 time with the ignition OFF or mag grounded, just to make sure that the tractor is truly in neutral. Went to start a Cub once that the shifter had broken off inside the tranny. The gear shift "shook" hands with me just fine......but it was in gear. I didn't get hurt, nor did anything else, but surely did surprise me when it took off without me on it.
I agree with the safe procedures called out though......just doesn't hurt to crank it over once with the ignition off.
