Mike: I will give you a bit of a tip. I know and can appreciate you are looking for original specs, in which the pos ground cable hooks to the dash panel-battery box. As these tractors get older that dash does not give very good ground. On my tractors, I eliminated a lot of problems by running the ground cable to one of the bolts that hold transmission top down. Get that ground right on cast, you'll have a much better ground. In my years of farming, I found that tractor sheet metal does not give you very good ground. IH was famous for doing just that.

I just made a gap in left rear side of battery box, much the same as the one in right front corner, fitted it with a rubber gromet, and the cable goes nicely down out side of box and back to left front transmission top bolt.
