The negative should lead to the frame, block, or body. The positive will lead to the starter and fuses.

Well the flat of the battery is the negative side.
If you have a post battery(the cable attaches from the top) the positive post is larger than the negative.
It is normally red.
I assume you're asking how can you tell which is positive and which is negative? The red cable is positive in the black cable is negative. But if they are not color-coded the positive battery post is slightly larger than the negative battery post. If you try to connect the negative cable to the positive post it would be a tight fit and if you connect the positive cable to the negative post it would be loose.
It is almost always imprinted on the battery next to the posts. If not the positive + post is slightly larger than the negative - post.
The quickest and best way is to look at the battery. If your positive cable (+) is going to the frame or body, positive ground. If the negative (-) goes to the frame or body, negative ground. I believe that a MF 35 is a neg ground system but use the check from above.
The positive battery cable will be going from the positive terminal of the battery over to the starter solenoid. The negative battery cable goes from the negative battery post to either a bolt on the generator upper bracket or the side of the engine block. Typically, the positive cable is red, and the negative is black, but people do all sorts of odd things to their cars, like have the wrong colored battery cables, so, go by how they are routed, not by what they look like.
Depending on colours of course black is usually negative and the other colour (generally red but depends) is positive. Get a D-cell Battery. Now get two pieces of speaker wire. hold one wire on the positive terminal of the battery and hold the other on the negative side of the battery. touch the wires to the positive and negative posts on the speaker. if the cone moves out ward the positive and negative are correct if it moves inward then the positive and negative are reversed (out of phase.) this simple test will allow you to see which terminal is which.

The positive cable is connected to the alternator and starter. The negative cable is connected to the chassis or engine ground. Positive is red and negative is black. The positive post is slightly larger than the negative post.
No, but I'll tell you how to do it... Put the two batteries in the truck. Call them "1" and "2." Hook the positive cable from the truck to the positive of battery 1, the negative cable from the truck to the negative of battery 2, and the series-wiring cable (it's about a foot long, and it's got a battery clamp at both ends) between the negative on battery 1 and the positive on battery 2.
On the car battery, the positive wire is red and the negative wire is black. If the body of the car is metal or conducts electricity, then the body of the car serves as the negative wire. The metal in the engine serves as the negative wire.
, If the battery has no markings then you should be able to tell from the sides. The flat end is the negative which pushes down on the spring, and the side with the bit sticking out is the positive which slots in nicely :) hope i helped :) x
