We have a 430S - its still 6 volt and starts without hesitation. Unless you have to have a 12 volt system, I would recommend leaving it 6 volt.

I switched my 430 U over to 12 volts. It starts much quicker and much easier to find 12 volt lights. I use mine though and is not just to look at. I start it to feed with in winter and the 12 volts really helps. Easy to convert, you can get an alternator at a wrecking yard, get Delco with the internal regulator is easiest, believe it is an S10 or something like that, I used the original mounting bracket and belt on mine. You also need a 12 volt coil with internal resister or a chrysler type resister to drop voltage to coil. On the international site Bob M has a great diagram for changing over a M to 12 volts, same wiring for deere. Also change coil from positive to negative ground. There are probably kits available also.

The W means two row utility. It stands for a type of tractor including the rearaxle configuration, however all W's were wide front.

I know 12 volt sounds like the hot set up, but those ole 6 volters are still running strong also. If you got something wrong with the six volt it may be much more economical to shoot the problem down and fix it. I wouldn't consider switching my 420. But that is a prefererence. Anyway, my two centagos, either way I am sure you will have fun!
