First off, be careful. You can get yourself in a LOT of trouble, and HUGE world of hurt.
Second, NEVER start the tractor from the ground. That's a great way to get run over.
There's a fuel shutoff valve under the tank. Righty-tighty (close), lefty-loosey (open). Open it all the way or close it all the way.
Get on the seat.
Put your feet on the clutch and brakes. Push all three pedals.
"Shake hands" with the gear shift lever. That is, make sure the tractor is out of gear by moving the lever side to side. If it does not move, it's in gear. Take it out of gear by moving the lever forward or back, whatever it takes, until you can shake it side-to-side. Feel it out, try putting it in the various gears, and you'll quickly learn what's "in gear" and what's "out of gear."
Locate the starter button. There may be a lever near the bottom of the steering post that leads to a push button. Sometimes there's a pull rod leading to the starter.
Locate the choke. It should be a rod leading from the steering post to the carburetor on the left side of the tractor.
Turn on the ignition. There should be a button switch to pull out on the little gauge box on the steering post. Pull it out to turn on the ignition. Push it in to shut off the engine.
If the starter button is a lever, make sure the tractor won't roll away on you, then take your foot off the pedal and step on the lever. Stop after 30 seconds, or after the engine starts.
If the starter has a rod, pull the rod. Let go when the engine starts, or after 30 seconds.
You said the tractor fired right up. It should fire right up again. If it doesn't you missed a step.
DO NOT attempt to drive the tractor on to the truck. Let someone more experienced with tractors load and unload it for you. Hopefully that's the truck driver. If he has a winch, let him winch it on to the truck.
Once it's home, get an owner's manual and read it cover-to-cover before you even get back in the seat. You do NOT want to go at this clueless.
On your first drive, take it slow and easy. FIRST GEAR.

Today's Featured Article - Harvestin Corn in Southern Wisconsin: The Early Years - by Pat Browning. In this area of Wisconsin, most crops are raised to support livestock production or dairy herds in various forms. Corn products were harvested for grain, and for ensilage (we always just called it 'silage'). Silo Filling Time On dairy farms back in the 30's and into the first half of the 40's, making of corn silage was done with horses pulling a corn binder producing tied bundles of fresh, sweet-smelling corn plants, nice green leaves with ear; the
