I'm going to add a bit of info. If the charger is 12 volt, and that is the reason you can't charge it, pull starting the tractor will more than likely do the trick. If the battery is dead from lights or ignition left on they sometimes look to a good 6v charger like they are not connected (even if they are) jumping another 6v battery to the dead one + to + and - to - will charge the dead battery from the live one enough to let the charger know that there is a battery hooked up (might take a half hour). A 6 v battery can be charged with a 12 v charger if a 12v light bulb (headlight is good) is placed in series with it From neg of charger to light terminal, then other light terminal to neg of battery then pos of batt to pos of charger. It will not charge very fast, but it will. If the tractor is one with a solenoid, or has two heavy terminals on the starter switch (some mechanical starter switches cover a copper terminal into the starter and do not work for this) the tractor can be jumped safely by commecting 12v battery (in car or not) to the tractor as follows, chassis of car/truck to chassis of tractor (polarity does not matter in this old Farmall application, trust me on this) then from positive to the switch terminal going into the starter from the solenoid or starter switch. There will be pretty substantial sparks, because you are connecting hundreds of amps. Be sure there are no open fuel containers, or fuel leaks. The positive cable should be carefully maneuvered so as to only contact the starter terminal I indicated, or the high current can damage things. JimN

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let�s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I�ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
