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.

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.
