Help with disconnected ground wire on MTD 1846?

Help with disconnected ground wire?

I have a 20-year old MTD garden tractor GT1846 (Model # 144Q828H118) that will not crank despite a fresh battery. I have just located a green wire ~ 7" long with an unattached free end (with a slightly worn "eye" connector). The other end runs from where the solenoid is attached to the tractor frame. There is another green wire which runs from the same attachment point into a bundled wiring harness. I suspect this might be why the tractor will not start but cannot figure out where the wire was attached.

Any suggestions?
