Jumping your tractor from your car will not damage anything if done properly (pos to pos and neg of car battery to the frame of your tractor). Both are 12 volt systems with neg. ground, right? Your car battery has more amps than the little tractor batteries do, so it should crank over the motor if the tractor battery is weak. Your battery might show 12 volts, but is it putting out the rated cranking amps? That is what we are trying to find out.
