I dont think it have anything to connect ground wire to, but modern plug is needed anyway.

Ground literally just connects to the metal body. Find any bolt and just connect it there. The point of a friend is that if there odd any short to the metal body, it will go to the point of least resistance, which will be ground, and send more power there instead of though you. Safety feature for worse case scenario. Modem appliances have either this, or double insulate by using plastic bodies.

So literally, any bolt that touches the body.
