The 6 volt system sytem will work just fine if properly maintained and correct oil weight for the season. In my opinion, the charging system is the source of most problems today. Starting a tractor, driving it across the yard and shutting it off won't give enough charging time to recharge the battery. Additionally, the mechanical contacts in the regulator or cut-out realays can be a problem. When these tractors were built they were expected to run all day in the field which gave plenty time to recharge the battery. Generators provide a rather low rate of charge. Where as, alternators provide a high rate of charge after initial startup. Alternators with internal regulation are a good answer for a yard tractor with frequent starts and short run times. If you want to keep with a 6 volts system, 6 volt alternators are available. When I have frequent startups and short run times, I hookup an automatic charger when I put them in the shed for the night.
