1980's Snapper Rear Mower Battery Ground

[mcrow44]

I have this old Snapper I'm trying to get running. The battery ground wire snapped off but I can't seem to find where on the mower it connects. It's the mower with the 12.5hp briggs and Stratton and 33" deck. I just cannot find where the ground bolts to the frame. Does anyone know where to find it? I debated just drilling a new hole an bolting it on but would rather just use the old one if I can figure out where it was.

If it has the metal battery holder bracket that bolts to the frame it is attached to the front mounting bolt.

It's pretty similar to this one, the battery is on the opposite side of the mower from the salonoid in a box under the seat. I know the ground ran back inside the box but have no idea where it's connected, there's no bolt there for it to connect to. The metal eye on the wire broke off, just can't figure out what bolt it was on.
