You need to determine what voltage your STARTING system is- 6, 12, or 24. Most likely 12 or 24. (I don't know Case that well). Starting system on some tractors is not the same as lighting or accessory system- usually 12 volts. Determine if your batteries are 6 or 12 volt, and if they are hooked up parallel or in series. Parallel gives you the same voltage as each battery, series gives you double each battery voltage. Series would mean that one battery's positive is connected to the next battery's negative, thus your voltage is double that of each battery. The end result is what voltage is delivered to the starter, and that is what you are able to jumpstart it with, using the two connections on the starter- just make sure you know which is positive and which is negative! Following from the batteries will determine that.
