Removing the plugs and squirting an ounce or so of oil - or a generous spray of WD-40 - into each cylinder is an excellent idea. It'll lube the long dry cylinders and help the engine develop good compression for the first start.
Also before replacing the plugs, crank the engine (or pull the tractor with the transmission in road gear) until the oil pressure gage shows pressure. This will insure the internal engine parts are well-oiled before.
Be prepared for a big cloud of blue exhaust smoke on for the first minute or two after the first start!
