I used to jump my 300 RC (6V positive ground) using a 12V battery as follows: 1)Connect one lead of a jumper cable from the negative terminal of the 12V battery to the cable stud on the starter, 2) turn on the ignition switch, 3) set the throttle to the desired position, 4) have a free hand to run the choke, 5) touch/hold the other lead (positive) of the jumper cable from the 12V battery to the tractor frame. As soon as the tractor starts, pull the positive lead away from the tractor frame. This keeps any sparks away from the tractor battery, prevents burning away of material from the battery posts or starter post when the electrical circuit is completed, and applies the 12V to the 6V tractor for a very short time. My $0.02!
