1) Is 12 volts most logical, may well be, but I just prefer original equipment. Your tractor only YOU can make that choice.
2) Sure, maybe an M that must be started in extreme cold temps is a better choice for a 12 volt conversion, but an A etc should start fine with a 6 volt system if all else is anywhere near in good shape.
3) "I am told the regulator intended for 2 brush will not work and that i need a cut out and resistor controller for the generator"
Partly true but not necessarily 100% correct. a) Its possible to re wire to convert your genny to a 2 brush b) Ive seen BOTH 2 and 3 brush gennys that used a Voltage Regulator instead of a cutout set up c) If I converted a 3 brush over to a VR system I would move the adjustable brush as close as possible to the fixed brush.
SO IT IS POSSIBLE TO CONVERT YOUR GENNY TO USE A FULL FLEDGED VOLTAGE REGULATOR but it may not be for the timid and may take a bit of knowledge or even experimentation.
Looks to me like it may be simpler to just get a 2 brush and a VR to match it and go that route. The alternative is to stick with a cutout and LHDB light switch.
MANY PROBLEMS IN YOUR SYSTEM IS THE LIGHT SWITCH HAS A POOR GROUND OR ISNT WIRED CORRECT. ID TAKE A LOOK AT THAT FIRST. If your genny charges that well with F grounded maybe all you need is to insure a good ground on the LHDB switch or its bad, maybe has a bad field resistor. Is F on genny wired correct up to the switch??? Is switch well grounded????
Try to fix your genny F to ground problem may be all you need

Today's Featured Article - My Ford Golden Jubilee - by Troy Estes. This article is about my '53 Ford Jubilee and a story that starts with taking the tractor to my brother's Starter/Alternator Rebuilding shop for a wiring fix. The generator was shot as well as all the wiring. I dropped off the tractor expecting a transformation from a 6 volt to a 12 volt system utilizing the original generator housing, and a total rewiring of the whole tractor. The front end center pin bushing was worn also so I ask that they replace it if they had time. Well, that�s wha
