There is a reason you don't see 6 volt systems on any equipment in the last 40+ years. It's obsolete technology!
The biggest problem I had with 6v systems was the lack of quality of a new 6v battery. I could get the generator, wiring, starter, etc. all perfect but the batteries didn't seem to last very long. I have a couple tractors that are only used once a year to put the garden in and the 6v batteries would be dead. 12v volt batteries will last for over a year and still fire them right up.
I have 12v batteries that are 10+ years old. I never had a 6v battery last over 2-3. Some wouldn't last a year.
As batteries failed I converted every thing to 12v. I used the Delco alternator when I have plenty of room and the Hitachi when space is tight.
