jeff,
I've got a 6 volt H which turns over easily when it's 0 outside. I also have a good battery and starter, and an H has more to turn than a Cub. The difference is I installed new 00 gauge welding cable, new connectors and grounded the battery directly to a bare metal base I formed on the starter mount.

If you try the big cable route first, it might make a world of difference, and you could save some bucks compared to the new regulator, light bulbs, dropping resistor required for a 12 volt conversion. If not, you can still use those big cables with 12 volts.

Another thought is that a 12 volt system won't do any better if your charging system isn't working well. Have you check the battey to see if it's getting a good, consistent charge? Another note is that it helps to switch to 10w-30 or 20w-40 in the winter instead of leaving the summertime 30 or 40 weight in the crankcase.
