Battery posts on the wrong side?

[The motor guy]

Note the post position in this example. You apparently need a Group 24 for your tractor.

So the 24 is flipped around. Battery decal against radiator

Don't worry about the decal. Pay attention to the location of the battery terminal post. On small lawn mower batteries there's usually a "R" in the nomenclature to signify that the posts are reversed. Your tractor uses a car battery so the post reversal is denoted by the "F" which as others have mentioned denotes the original application of Ford vehicles.
