Gas tractors have one 12V battery.
Diesel tractors should have two 6V batteries, hooked + to - with a short battery cable, to make 12V. Once connected, it works exactly the same as a single 12V battery. Treat it like a single 12V battery.
For charging and jumping, you hook the red clamp to the + on the first battery, and hook the black clamp to the - on the second battery. You do NOT connect anything to the short cable at all.
Use the *12V* boost setting.
That is what I figured. They were doing this way back on the MD's.
With that said I could confuse the subject. :roll: You can take two 12 volt batteries and hook them + to + and - to - for twice the cranking amps. IDK what the battery boxes look like on the 460/560, but you can do it on the big Deeres pretty easy ie4440. It wouldn't really work on something like a 4020 with the long skinny 6 volt boxes.
Actuall sflem you have the correct solution. I ran JD A's for many years with the original 2/6v hooked in series to make 12v and always had slow starts. Then for LESS MONEY I bought 2 small 12v and hooked them in parrallel and had 12v with twice the cranking amps and much easier starting.

Today's Featured Article - When Push Comes to Shove - by Dave Patterson. When I was a “kid” (still am to a deree) about two I guess, my parents couldn’t find me one day. They were horrified (we lived by the railroad), my mother thought the worst: "He’s been run over by a train, he’s gone forever!" Where did they find me? Perched up on the seat of the tractor. I’d probably plowed about 3000 acres (in my head anyway) by the time they found me. This is where my love for tractors started and has only gotten worse in my tender 50 yrs on this “green planet”. I’m par
