Its dangerous to jump a 6 volt battery with a 12 volt battery, theres high current and the 6 volt can outgas explosive gas out its top and cause an explosion. If I wanted to jump start a 6 volt tractor using a 12 volt battery, I WOULD APPLY THE 12 VOLTS TO THE STARTER MOTOR ONLY such as one jumper lead to the frame ground and the other direct to the starter post or the starter side of a switch or solenoid. Id atatch the first clamp to the starter post (or starter side of switch or solenoid) and then jump the other lead to the iron frame near the starter. THIS WILL START THE TRACTOR IFFFFFFFFF the ignition is on and theres at lEast enough charge in the 6 volt battery to power up the ignition (none needed if its a Magneto).
DO NOT use jumper cables to apply 12 volts to a 6 volt battery especialy right at the battery top where sparking and explosive gasses may be present.......
DOOOOOOOOO match the battery polarities i.e. + to + and - to -........
If youre jumping a Pos ground tractor using a Neg ground vehicle dont let the tractor and vehicle be in physical contact
NOTE this can be a high current jump so use caution and make the last connection on the tractor steel frame no where near the battery

Originally the company was called the Cleveland Motor Plow Company which began in 1912, then the Cleveland Tractor Company (1917) and finally Cletrac.
