From the battery low side, - term for neg gnd systems and + terminal for positive gnd systems. No extra wiring, just one hot and one cold from the battery.

I had a JD with a 6v on both sides of the tractor. Wired in series with the one on the far side tied to the block as stated. Starter was real sluggish in the winter on my diesel.

I changed out both batteries to 12v and ran 2 wires from the far battery around the tractor and tied the ground side (- term) of both batteries to one of the bolts holding the starter to the engine block after cleaning up the spot real well.

The two hot posts I tied together (putting the batteries in parallel) and tied to the solenoid. That old diesel couldn't wait to light off when you hit the button.
