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. Use oven mitts and RUN (like the wife is just pulling into the driveway) to the tractor with it. Line it up with the key and should slide right on. Hold it there for the short time it will take to shrink onto the end of the crank. Some will take a quick rap with a rubber mallet to go the last little bit (don't beat too hard or too long, you can mar the thrust faces on the mains), or there is a thread in the end of the crank that allows you to stack a couple of washers under a bolthead to finish drawing it on.
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.
