I have to jump start my tractor as the battery is weak. I was told if the battery has 3 water caps it has a six volt system and if it has six caps or no caps it has a 12 volt system. is this true?
Also is it safe to jump start it with my car if the tractor has a six volt system?
i hooked up the negative connections od the car and tractor and then put the positive connection onto the body of the tractor and positive terminal of the car.
It tried turning over but the cable attached to the tractor body was smoking. It is about 10 below outside so I don't know if that may be the cause of the smoke but I stopped just to be safe.
I jump started it lasr weekend with no problem but I didn't know about a six volt VS 12 volt difference i nth system. Another Problem is we have snow on the ground and I was clearing the driveway. I dumped the bucket and tried backing out but the rear tires just spin on ice. The tires are not sinking into the ground, I don't have tire chains and the bucket is not hydrolic. What can I do to get it to grab?
Will putting sand under the rear tires help or will I nd up having to get a tow to get out?
