Certainly can, Ellie. I assume that you have a set of jumper leads!
You'll see that the jumper leads have a black clamp and a red clamp on either end of the set. OK? Make sure that none of the clamps are touching, or you'll have big trouble.
Put the red clamp of one end on the positive terminal of your car battery (it will be red or have a + sign on the post or on the battery case by the post) and then put the black clamp on the negative terminal (black colored or a - on the battery) With me so far? Good.
Next, put the other red clamp on the positive terminal on the tractor battery. Now, open the black clamp and gently touch it on the negative terminal - no sparks? Good sign!
Now start the tractor as normal and after it starts disconnect all the clamps from the batteries, being careful not to let them touch until they are all disconnected.
Good Luck.

Yes if the lawn mower battery is a liquid filled one. If it is the jelly type no. Deep cycle, and some small mowers have batteries that re quire charging at 2 amps or less.
My lawn tractors are all 12 volt with batteries that require water, its OK to jump them from a car, or use a common charger.
Some lawn mowers (a smaller version of a lawn tractor) have the jelly filled, do not jump them or charge more than 2 amps and that is not recommended.

Are you particular its a 6 volt? again even as 6 volt structures were uncomplicated a lawnmower with electric powered commence might want to were extremely uncommon. i might want to suspect this might want to be a classic tractor. no matter if it really is that previous be particular to pay interest on effective vs. adverse floor! no matter if it really is truly a 6 volt gadget it would want to be extremely previous and easy (no pcs or different electronics) so leaping it from 12v might want to no longer be a venture. turn off any upload-ons you do have like lights fixtures. do no longer have the 12V engine operating because this gives you you with more effective like 14v that could no longer help issues. do no longer crank (attempt to commence it) for more effective than about 3-5 seconds at a time. If it takes dissimilar tries wait about 30 seconds between tries to allow issues cool. That previous stuff change into frequently extremely over equipped so double the voltage does no longer harm see you later as you dont pass loopy and lay on the starter. a number of you easily imagine again even as the replace from 6v to 12v change into occurring and there have been lots of both accessible that it change into no longer a threat to mixture it up somewhat? They effective vs. adverse floor brought about so a lot more effective issues than the voltage element.
