Pat..... Your questions have been answered many times, you might want to check the "archives" at the top of this great N-Board. Yes, you can jump a 6 volt positive ground with a 12 volt battery IF you are certain that your tranny is in NEUTRAL. (we don't want any accidents out there) The interesting thing is, your tractor starter really doesn't care wheather it is positive or negative ground. Clamp one of your jumper leads directly to the starter so it doesn't go thru the solinoid. Make sure your igntion switch is on. Now ground your other jumper battery lead onto the tractor frame and watch out, that ol' 6 volt starter is gonna' sing with 12 volts on it. If your tractor is in any sorta good shape it should start in less than 5 seconds. Don't go grinding away for minutes as your starter will puke its guts all over its brushes. When it comes to "polarizing" a generator, I always have to look it up in the book. I suggest you do the same. And believe it or not, there many books in the library that can tell you how to do it. It isn't just a N-Tractor thing. And the polarizing only takes a second. You deffinately want to be quick about it. Strange that your generator would come with a reminder to "excite" your new generator, but doesn't tell you how to do it. Oh yeah, Claus has posted many instructions in the archives on how to polarize a generator..... .Dell
