ALWAYS JUMP POS TO POS AND NEG TO NEG
Regardless which battery post happens to be bonded to some huge hunk of iron lol
I DO NOT recommend jumping a 6 volt battery direct with a 12 volt battery, it can blow up !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If I need to jump start a 6 volt tractor with 12 volts, I JUMP THE STARTER MOTOR ONLY. This can be done iffffffffff the starter motor has an exposed available connection post,,,,,,,,,Or if you can get to the output (Starter NOT to battery) side of a starter switch or starter solenoid.
This is a high current connection and can cause big time sparks USE CAUTION and DO NOT allow sparks anywhere near the battery. I prefer the last jump connection be made somewhere on a clean non painted part of the frame/chassis AWAY from the battery. Use good quality jumper cables with strong clamps
REMEMBER POS TO POS NEG TO NEG
If a tractor is Pos ground, that means its battery POS is tied to frame/chassis so thats where the POS of the jump cable is (or can be) attached as its wired to the batterys POS post i.e. youre still jumping POS to POS
