Only dumb question is the one you don"t ask.
Battery cells make two volts. 3 caps (cells) make a total of 6 volts. Six caps will be a twelve volt system.
The positive or negative posts are marked on the side or top of the battery with a plus or minus symbol. The negative going to someplace on the frame is a negative ground. Hope this helps.

OK it goes to a bolt on the back of the engine. Same thing? Reason I'm asking is I want to buy an electronic ignition kit for it. Any pro's or con's for the Kit? thanks

Hi,
It will be 12V. All UK tractors of that time were positive earth and your should be the same.
