Were does the ground battery wire hook up to on a tractor?

Just got a new battery for my gas Super 55 Oliver. Someone else took off the old one and I am unsure where that grounding cable bolts too. I am sure that I could bolt it anywhere to the frame, but where did it hook when i twas stock? I know that the positive bolts right to the starter. Does that negative bolt to the battery tray? thanks

    It should bolt straight to the engine block. then there is a second wire that runs from the block to the frame. The ground has two places of connection, each are very important to the electrical system. The main ground is for the charging system, then secondary is for the electronics of the control panel and lights. Bolt that main ground straight to the engine block.
