If it has a distributor and coil, then look on the coil. On it there are terminals where the wires connect that are marked + and –, the one going to the distributor is the one that SHOULD be the same as the one on the battery that is grounded. For an example of positive ground the + terminal on the coil should go to the distributor and the + terminal of the battery would be connected to the ground on the tractor.
This is not a guarantee, but the only things that really care on your tractor is the coil and the generator/alternator and the generator can be polarized. The ammeter doesn’t really care, but you will probably want it to swing the right way and you can reverse the wires on it.
Once the battery is connected correctly, good idea to polarize the generator (not alternator) before starting up the first time (MOMENTARILY touch a wire jumper across the BAT and GEN terminals at the regulator).
