bc you have a 2606, right? haven't you posted about having a messed up electrical system? I would definitely try to make that right!
if your tractor is the same as a 656 in factory form (my reference is a 72 model), there is supposed to be a resistive wire coming from the ignition switch to the R terminal of the starter. from the R terminal, a regular wire goes to the coil. When the key is on, the resisive wire feeds the coil at reduced voltage, and the R terminal is electrically dead to/from the starter assembly and serves only as a junction block. When the starter button is depressed, the R terminal is energised with the starter, and the coil gets fed a full 12 volts as best as the electrical system can supply with the starter load. Even if the resistive wire was eliminated and a regular coil used, the R terminal still helps with starting because the distance the current must travel to the coil is halved and the loads shared with the ignition circuit are eliminated.
So maybe the charger would help your ignition circuit when starting but those are awful big clamps that could be accident/spark prone with the smaller wires you'd be trying to connect to. My vote is fix the electrical system :) and over-duty the lighting system with redundant grounds and relays for anything more than 2 35watt headlights and a red tail light.

To the newcomer planning to restore the machine, this means you have everything you need for the moment (something to sit in the shop and just look at for awhile while you read the books). To the newcomer that wants to get out and use the machine for field work, you may have already hit a major roadblock. That is the dreaded "proprietary hitch". With the exception of the
