SURE, if you added a series voltage dropping (12 down to 6 volts) Ballast Resistor you can use a 6 volt coil on a 12 volt tractor.
If you don't add the ballast and applied 12 volts to a 6 volt coil, it will overheat bad, eventually fail, and the points will burn up prematurely. But Billy Bob might say it will still "work" at least until it burns up lol
Your exact question: "Could I have left the 6v coil"
YES you could have left it
"and would it have worked?"
YES for a while until it burns up
I THINK YOUR CHOICE TO BUY THAT 12 VOLT COIL WAS WISE or you could have bought a voltage dropping (12 down to 6 volts) Ballast Resistor instead that would have been much cheaper and that would have still worked properly...
