The boys got some good ideas for you here. 6 volt positive ground is how your H started it's life. As stated below, the most important things to making a reliable 6 volt system is:
0 or 00 gauge cables (I buy my cable at a welding supply house and then solder my connections and use industrial shrink wrap to seal the joint).
Good clean connections at every point (generator, starter, battery, ammeter, etc).
A good battery.
A charging system that matches the battery set-up in the tractor.
A clean fuel system and properly adjusted carb help out a h*lluva lot when it comes to starting too!
I have two Farmall's (H and M) that are still 6 volt positive ground and they start marvelously in this beautiful Wisconsin weather (the H popped off yesterday morning at a whopping 6 degrees)!
That should give you some places to start. Good luck with it. Let us know if you need anything else!
