looking to convert my WC to 12v. what parts will I need to change. it is currently a 6v neg ground with dist. thanks

You will need an alternator say from a 1980 Chev pick up no power any thing no AC. A ballast resister or a true 12 volt coil. A O'Reilly's VR-1 ballast resister works well. A Radio shack 276-1661 diode and the knowledge to wire it up

OLD, will this help the slow cranking that I get in cold weather. this tractor never spins fast but when cold it is very slow even after starter rebuild and cleaning the grounds. thanks

here:
6 to 12 volt

will the starter spin proper direction with 12v pos ground? thanks

YES the starter still turns the SAME direction regardless if Neg or Pos Ground

Yes it will greatly increase starter RPM

"12 V pos ground" I hope that was a typo. If you are going with an alternator and I think you should, the battery would need to be NEG ground.
