Simply connect the charger's RED (+) lead to the battery's (+) post and the charger's BLACK (-) lead to the battery's (-) post. There is no need to unhook any cables. The battery and charger connections are the same, regardless of tractor ground polarity.

As a precaution, I always set the charger on a wooden or plastic table or chair or similar stand, or even a plastic bucket with a lid,sitting next to the tractor, rather than on the tractor itself, I have run across a charger or two over the years, usually older units, which have the (-) in common with the charger case. With one of these chargers, there's a potential for a short between the case of the charger, and metal parts of the tractor. While it's unlikely that there's many of these old units around anymore, keeping the charger from sitting directly on the metal of a POSITIVE GROUND tractor is a simple safety precaution.
