Never connect across the 6 volt battery. If you cannot jump directly to starter with out impressing the 12 volts to the 6 volt battery or components don't do it. It is a rare 6 volt tractor that uses a solenoid operated starter but if it does you would be impressing 12 volts to system by jumping at battery side of solenoid. If you can hook directly to starter you may back feed 12 volts through pull in winding to hold in winding so that is not recommended. You would need to disconnect starter strap from solenoid. Some use a magnetic switch mounted on the starter that is often called a solenoid but is not. You can safely jump direct to starter side on those. Remember, you are relying on the 6 volt battery for ignition unless you have a magneto. Safety first. Sparks will be flying where you make your last cable connection
