Boosting six volt batteries with 12V may get you, the trucks and the tractor covered with acid. Unless as previously mentioned it was converted to a non factory 2x twelve.
Assuming it's a quad range 4250 then put in "tow" mode and roll it to the shed for service if outside work isn't possible.
Tow $tarting that hydraulic $hifted and clutched tran$mi$$ion will co$t more than what it$s worth. $hould tour a Deere dealer$hip and a$k about 2355'$ etc that "Uncle Tinker" tried to pull $tart.
DON"T RUN YOUR SELF OVER. Every once and a while somebody jump starts/bypass starts a tractor while it's in gear. The hydraulic transmission types are the most dangerous.
1-2 seconds after it starts and when you've let your guard down during that feeling of success. The tractor will develop oil pressure and jump right on and over you and everything in it’s way. Usually a child or two who are watching Daddy as well.
It's tough on volunteer firemen picking up flat bodies with tread marks crushed into the flesh. Worse when it's a child killed or the rest of the frantic family is gathered around the tractor/body when we pull up.
And some of you wonder why I get "bent and twisted" about dangerous “tinker fixes” and short cuts.
I could rant about body parts flapping around PTO shafts but I doubt anyone will then run out and repair the machines/tractor shielding. " It will never happen to me"………... Famous last words.
