Check and clean all connections. Use HEAVY cables. Be sure the starter is in good shape and the battery is charged. Make sure points and plugs are good, as 6 volts may crank it, but may not crank it long! If it still won't start well on 6 volts, it's likely as Tractor Vet described. I've got a '49 M that's been tinkered with to the point that a 6 volt battery would crank it VERY slowly, and only about 2 revolutions. 12 volts made a different machine out of it.
If your tractor is for show, try to leave it on 6 volts. If it has to work to earn its keep, you'll be happier with 12 volts.
