I already have a replacement cord.

I made another separate post to make sure I hook it up right.

The green wire in the cord serves what purpose?

So if the green wire in the cord isn't the green wire connected to the grinder, what the hell is the green wire connected to the grinder?

I agree, my friend, that the green wire as originally installed, served no purpose.

The hot wire and neutral were securely fastened.

I made a separate post showing the loose wires going to the motor, and where the green wire from the OLD cord was fastened to the grinder.

So I could get advice on how to connect the new cord correctly.

I can not find that post?

Hmmmm...

What was the green wire originally installed and where did it go?!

Your posts are lacking entirely in context. We are not mind readers.

You seem to have poor understanding of what the earth wire is for. You really shouldn't be playing with this stuff. 

But anyway, in simple terms, the sole and entire purpose of the green wire is to connect the Earth pin of your power socket to any exposed metal part you can touch on the tool.

Your other thread seems to show that is exactly what it was and should be doing.

It would have really been helpful if the grinder cord replacement was all ONE thread.

Here are the other two threads for reference:
