 I'd say...buy a conversion kit and get it right! (But save the 6V stuffs so you can put it back in the future!) Sure, a well-maintained 6V system will work. So will a well-maintained crank system! But 12 V is the modern standard, 6V stuffs are getting harder to find, etc. As a certified Hater Of Change, I'm going against my nature by recommending this path, but it depends upon just how you want to use the tractor. Sure, for a show tractor, stay with the stock system. But for a daily worker, 12V is the only way to go! I did it to mine several years ago, and it starts faster, seems to run better, generally a better tractor. (Also replaced the ignition with electronic, but that's another story) Yep, I stashed the 6V stuffs in the barn, so I can re-convert back to orig (Or the next owner can, when I'm gone) Some things I'm a traditionalist, but not the electric system. Of course, I will fight to the death for anyones right to their opinion, so it's up to you! My 2c worth.
