When conveting to 12 volt do I need a 12 volt starter,coil and condenser. Also is there a special bracket to fit the alternator?

Bryan,
Starter should be okay. You'll need a 12 volt coil. I smoked a 6v coil by placing 12v on it. Some people use a resistor. You can get the coil, points and condenser at NAPA. The part nos in the book list 6v and 12v(heavy duty). I got those just to be safe about $16.50(not including coil). Your points and condenser may actually be the same.
A one-wire alternator and 12v bulbs should convert easily.

I used the same points and condensor. You need a 12 volt coil AND a resistor to bring the voltage to the coil down to about 6.5 volts. It doesn't appear necessary to feed 12 volts to the coil when starting. I went to all of the trouble to do this on two conversions and didn't bother on a third. They all start well. Go to "Research & Info" to your left of this screen. Click on: "Article Archives". Look under "Maintenance & Mechanical Info" and you'll find everything you ever wanted to know about converting your tractor from 6 to 12 volts. I agree to some extent with the "Purists" when they say leave it six volts. However, unless it's a "show" tractor, there's nothing like 12 volts for getting "started" on a cold morning. I live in upstate New York and I use my WD for a lot of plowing and she has never failed to start in the 4 years since I converted to 12 volts.
