Read the post by DaveinKY for the way to do this without posing an electrical hazard. The method he describes puts 12 volts across the starter ONLY, so it poses no hazard to the tractor's battery, light, generator, regulator, etc. It also puts the full output of the tractor's battery across the ignition system, rather than drawing it down to run the starter. And don't worry about the starter as long as you don't get too crazy - the old 6 volt starters will handle 12 volts OK.

DO be careful, especially if you're not going to be sitting in the tractor's seat while doing this. Make SURE the tractor is in neutral for heavens sake, and don't get between it and a wall (or whatever).
