Been hearing mixed reviews on the safest way to jumpstart these old tractors. Backstory: my tractor battery is a 12v (positive grounded), however it still has a generator and 6v system. I don t know why the previous owner put a 12v battery on it and not a 6v.... anyway.. the other day I threw the cables from my jump pack on it to start it. I put the positive cable on the positive node on the battery and the negative onto the frame of the tractor. It started right up with a little spark from the negative clamp. Now this is close to the gas tank, I want to eventually do a full 12v conversion and rewire the whole tractor... until then I m going to be jumping it with the jump pack. Thoughts on what s the best way?
