You might clean all the connections, including the ones where the cables attach to the starter switch. If it has an existing 6 volt battery, it is best not to try to jump it with a 12 volt. If you are going to leave it 6 volt, go to a farm store and buy a 6 volt, and install it rather than try to jump the old one, the connections are more solid this way. If it has a mag (better than even chance that it does), and you want to use the 12 volt, remove the generator belt and the wires to the voltage regulator (to prevent possible damage and use the 12 volt. The 12 volt can also be hooked directly to the starter, you will generate sparks. Since you have loaded tractors before, you will probably have no problems, but move it around first and get used to the clutch. Be sure the brakes work, if not be prepared to take corrective action. I bought a Super H with disk brakes, the seller drove it on the trailer, I pulled it home, applied the brakes while going down the ramps -nothing- rolled down the ramps and came to a stop, sure glad there was nothing behind me.
