Thinking on this issue a little. Battery voltage with a 6 volt battery is about 6.3 to 6.4 volts fully charged. If the tractor is not running the battery voltage (if 6 volt) should be at that voltage no higher. If your battery is actually a 12 volt battery, or an 8 volt battery, the voltage could be that high (reported below in the earlier response to me) count the cell caps on the battery, If there are 3 cells, it is a six volt. If four it is an 8 volt, if 6 it is a 12 volt. (about 2.1 or a little more per cell) charging an 8 or 12 volt battery with a 6 volt charger, even for a long time will not put a usable charge in it. (an 8 volt might get to 60 to 70%charge if the charger was a large floor model on high charge rate.) If it is a 12 volt battery, it will start the tractor if charged at 12 volts. (with a mag (if so equipped, there is no need to worry about switching things around, 12 volts is fine and dandy) A 6 volt starter will make it start OK on 12 volts. If it is 12 volt, and the charging system is 12v and operational all is well, just charge it up. negative to negative and positive to positive. connect the last battery charger connection to the chassis on a shiny bolt. again observe the battery connection (one is grounded, the other is going to the starter switch) be sure to hook the same polarity found on the battery ground to the proper color charging lead. (red positive, black negative. Jim
