you are too confused. Back up and take a deep breath. Now when a syseten is positive ground that means that the positive post on the battery is hooked to the ground. It is still the positive side and just means that the electrons or whatever are flowing in the oposite direction. For charging or boosting you still hook positive to positive, negitige to negitive. Of course if you are boosting from a pickup truck with negitive ground you don't want the vehicles touching each other. Now if your battery was dead enough and you charged it with the battery charger hooked up positive to negitive you may have charged it up backwards and that is why your charging system on the tractor does not appear to be working now. I'd suggest getting a new battery and starting over. You might use the old battery for running a fence charger or something. Once it is dead you could charge it correctly the next time but every time a battery goes dead it takes years off it's life and is doomed to fail.
