1. Locate the tractor battery cables.
2. Follow each cable to where it connects to the tractor. One cable will be connected/attached to the tractor chassis/frame. The other cable will be connected/attached to the tractor starter motor. If you don't find this to be true, then discontinue this procedure now.
3. Connect the unconnected end of the cable that is connected to the starter motor to the "+" or "pos" battery post.
4. Connect the unconnected end of the other cable that is connected to the tractor chassis/frame to the "-" or "neg" battery post.
5. Snugly tighten the post connector nuts to ensure a firm/stable electrical connection.
Done. Your battery is now connected to your tractor properly.
Connect the positive terminal on one battery to the negative terminal on the other with heavy wire and battery clamps. Connect the remaining positive terminal to the metal chassis of the tractor, and run the remaining negative wire to the items to be powered, with any luck at all, through a fusebox.

If the tractor had a battery in it when you were jumping it, there is a chance that the battery is bad. Try unhooking the tractors battery and trying again. Hook your jumper cables to the battery cables themselves without being attached to the battery. If it runs then just replace the battery. A battery with a short in it will keep the mower from charging and could cause it to die. If there was no battery in the tractor when you were jumping it, then the tractor is not charging and will have to be diagnosed as to what the problem is.
If it is still in the tractor hooked up unhook it and try charging it if it still won't charge the battery is probably bad. If it does charge out of the tractor you might have a short in your wiring on the tractor. Hope this helps.
To wire a one-wire alternator on a diesel farm tractor, first ensure the engine is off and the battery is disconnected for safety. Connect the single output terminal of the alternator to the positive terminal of the battery. Ground the alternator’s housing to the tractor’s frame or engine block, as it typically relies on a good ground connection to function properly. Finally, reconnect the battery and start the engine to verify that the alternator is charging correctly.

Make sure the battery's positive terminal is connected to the chassis ground, as the system operates on positive ground. Finally, reconnect the battery and check for proper spark when cranking the engine.
