I've made a mistake of draining my 6 volt + ground cub? It's a newer battery, I'd like to know if there's a way to jump start and let the battery recharge itself? I don't have a 6 volt charger!

What I've done in the past is use booster cables from a 12volt battery DIRECTLY to the starter terminals on the starter. With ignition switch ON, and starter switch OFF, the 12 volt will spin it over fast and if there's ANY juice left in the 6volt battery, she should fire right up.

If you have a spare headlight bulb, and some test leads with alligator clips lying about, you can charge the 6 Volt battery safely with a 12 Volt charger. Hook the headlight bulb between one of the charger leads and the battery. The light bulb will be bright at first, and get dimmer as the 6 Volt battery charges up.

Please use safety googles when working around the battery. I personally have had 2 batteries explode over the years, and just his week, a friend of mine had an almost new side-post battery in his car. It wouldn't start, and when he wiggled the side-terminal cables, the battery exploded. He was lucky, and from where he was standing, to the side, the hood blocked the flying acid from his face.

If you have a way to pull your tractor, you could start it this way. If the engine is turning fast enough, the generator will start to charge and give your ignition electric to start your tractor. Then let the tractor run long enough to charge the battery back up. The battery should have enough etectric for the ignition to start it with out the generator charging if the lights still light any amout.
