Changing to 12v (especially with an alternator) is desirable in that it makes jumping it simple. It also makes jumping polarity - to - and + to + obvious. A cub will start using 4 flashlight batteries (just kidding) so conversion to make it start better is nonsense. If it is charging leave it alone and enjoy, they are great tractors.
