Okay, I'm sick and tired of having to remove the FEL brace to open the hood to reach in front of the radiator to put clamps on the battery to either charge the battery or jump-start the tractor.
Solution? I purchased heavy duty quick connects, inserted a pair in my jumper cables (about 1/4 to 2/3 from one end, giving me long and short cables to work with) and using a section scavenged from my jumper cables, made a charge/jump point on the side of the tractor with a matching plug to mate with the jumper cables.
I can now charge or jump the tractor without having to touch the hood.
