Megs you use jumping and charging as if they are the same. When one is charging a 6 volt battery hopefully he has a 6 volt charger. When Jumping, you can say that you are using a charger with a high amp setting but often when one wants to JUMP (BOOST) a six volt tractor, there is no other six volt tractor around and no charger with a high boost capability. What can be very safely done in this situation is to go direct to the starter and LEAVE the BATTERY OUT of the circuit. Since we are of course talking negative ground you simply put the clamp of the cable from the Negative post of the good battery on the post of the starter, and the cable clamp from the positive post of the battery to a good chassis ground on the tractor being boosted. This of course keeps the battery out of the circuit, and the 6 volt starter cares not a lick that it is being spun by 12 volts. You will want to keep your hand on the positive clamp because the tractor will most likely start instantly.
