Mark, don't get hung up in the "safety" aspect of not letting your son drive the tractor. If the tractor isn't operational, then sure, but if you've got some open space, let the boy drive the tractor!
Most of the members of this forum who grew up on farms were driving far less advanced machines at that age, for real. Your son will be putt-putting around the yard in 1st gear with the engine idling at first. He will be perfectly safe, because the tractor will be moving at less than a walking pace, and you will be right there to dash in and hit the kill switch.
He'll be absolutely thrilled beyond belief, and you'll have taught him a huge lesson about responsibility: Listen to Daddy, and do what he says, and you get to do something really really neat!
