That's my question. Here we are in the middle of a beautiful snow storm and the kid won't start. Is it ok to use a battery-pack to jump a 6 volt battery??

You can jump the 6v from 12v. Polarity is not important. Just don't let the vehicals touch. Put one side of the 12v system to the frame of the tractor, put the otherside to the strap that runs from the solinoid to the starter. You beter have the tractor in neutral or it will run you over.

direct answer to your question--yes; but

don't connect to the battery
assuming your tractor is still positive ground hook the positive to tractor ground and touch the negative to the post on the starter

DON'T FORGET TO PUT IT IN NEUTRAL as this defeats the interlock

also don't forget to turn key on

don't run starter more than ten seconds at a time and make sure it is in neutral so we don't read about you here

The answer is yes, BUT do not connect it to the 6V battery. Connect the NEG- clamp to the Starter NEG- post and the POS+ to a good ground. The key needs to be on and OUT OF GEAR.
There are several posts in the archives on this and Isuggest you read them. Look under jumping .
LOL
