UB battery tray

Morning all, I’ve started doing some work to get a UB running. It had the motor rebuilt around 2002. Was getting water in the oil. Currently resealing the water pump.
My question is, what does the original battery box/tray look like? Was the battery under the fuel tank or bolted to the side of the frame?
Would anyone be willing to take a few pics of a correct setup and post them for me?
Googling it doesn’t show any good pics and it seems they are different.

Thanks.

They originally used a long narrow 12 volt battery along the right side of the fuel tank as shown in the first photo (not my tractor).
On my tractor those parts were long gone before I got it. Mine (2nd picture) has a homemade tray which uses a regular square battery. If I were to do it over, I'd change it just a bit, as it would get in the way if the belt pulley were used.

Same tray as on my UTS ‘s also. It’s a Minnie thing with them long battery’s. all the way up to them 706’s and higher up used them, actually the diesels used 3 battery’s like that. They were a junky 650 cca battery.
 
Ken Hicks I believe used to sell them. (back in the 90s) I also think it makes a difference whether your tractor is gas or LP. I think the bolt holes in them are different. The LP one uses bars to set it off to the side a bit to clear the LP tank. (Of course, I am thinking UB Diesels had two batteries. and their battery tray was different as well)

Maybe Enterprise Plastics sells them now.

Diesel battery trays were the same just joined together.
 
Welters used to sell the trays. I make the covers but am way behind on them as I do them in my spare time. The original battery in them was a 3EE. A 3ET will fit but you cant use a cover and the post are very close to the fuel tank as they are about 3/4" to 1" taller than a 3EE battery.
