No matter what you are still putting current to any electrical devices on the tractor wither the battery is hooked up or not. The only 100% way to protect a electrical system is to remove every bit of it before welding. If you are welding on a implement, and if you are worried about damaging anything on the tractors electrical system just unhook it from the tractor. I have welded on a lot of things over years that have electrical components on them, and never unhooked the battery. Never experienced a electrical problem afterwards, I just hook the ground from the welder as close as possible to where I am welding especially if there is a bearing close by. Having a bearing between the ground, and electrode is never good for any bearing. I've seen bearing(s) that were badly damaged due to welding where the current was passed through bearing(s). If something electrical goes bad chances are it was on its way out anyways even if you didn't do any welding.
