The tractor would originally have been a six volt, positive ground set-up. If the tractor is equipped with a generator, it is most likely still a six volt, but is possible to have a 12 volt generator, which is most likely to be a negative ground. If the tractor is equipped with an alternator, the chances are about 99.9% percent that it is a 12 volt negative ground. Another thing, if the battery you took out had 3 caps on it, it was a six volt. 12 volt batteries will have 6 caps. Now, one good thing about these old tractors, the starter really doesn't care if it is hooked up to 6 volts or 12 volts, and it does not care if it is positive ground or negative, although cranking the engine over for long periods of time with 12 volts could cause damage to the starter.
