Id leave it same as she was original, theres no advantage as far as charging ability regardless if Pos or Neg ground and she will work regardless (provide Polarized etc., see below). The battery dont really care which terminal happens to have a huge hunk of iron attached to it... HOWEVER if reversed the ammeter leads need swapped or she will read bass ackwards and the coil leads need swapped also plus be sure n Repolarize the Genny or the VR could get messed up. Before things got standardized at neg ground some like Ford n Chrysler believed ther could be less corrosion where frame memebrs joined if at Pos ground.

You ALWAYS charge + to + and - to - again regardless which battery terminal is bonded to a huge chunk of iron.............. If jumping DO NOT let the metal of the tractor and jump vehicle come in contact wheres they are at opposite ground polarities......
