without knowing more, I will give the following: If it has three cells (three caps on the cell coverings that either pry or screw off, it is a six volt. If it has two big square covers, covering 3 openings each it is a 12 volt. The reality is that it came from the factory as a 6 volt if it is a gas tractor, and 12 volt if diesel. Both of these were positive ground systems (not the same as modern cars) If you know the difference between an alternator, and a generator by looking at it, you can be assured it will have 12v negative ground (99% chance)if it is an alternator. If it has a genreator, it will have an external device attached near it, or in the wiring to it for control (either a cutout relay, or a voltage regulator) We can help dramatically if we know what you have with certainty.

Putting the wrong battery in it the wrong way always lets the smoke out of the parts. JimN
