Why don't you add one? Won't hurt anything, and it's better to have one too
many ground straps than one too few. At minimum, you should have a strap from
frame to engine and frame to tub.

I will, but there's a bit of context that I didn't include in my original
post. Right now the tub is sitting in my driveway, the frame is next to
it and the engine is on a stand inside the garage.

I'm pretending to be all the king's horses and all the king's men, putting
Humpty-CJ back together again, and I was fishing Mike's brain to see where
that last strap should be attached.
