It's been decades that we ran that set-up on WD/D series tractors and "possibly" the Gleaner A combine. I know for sure we had to hook up jumper cables or battery chargers to them, but for the life of me I can't recall if it was "STILL" red-to-positive/black-to negative" ?? I do recall lots of sparks though   !! What's the proper method ?? Thanks

Others know more than I but, I have always hooked the red cable to the positive of a battery whether it be positive or negative ground. I think you’re gonna get in trouble if you hook the positive from one battery to the negative of the other. ------------- 2-8070FWA PS/8050PS/7080/7045PS/200/D15-II/2-WD45/WD/3-WC/UC/C |

Always positive to positive and negative to negative. If one is positive ground and the other is negative ground, make sure vehicles are not touching. |
