Well, that means in 40 more years, YOU will be wrong. The '51 M out in the shop had a 12V alternator installed in the late 1970's. Charging system has performed great since then. Also, that M was delivered brand new, just a few days out of the Farmall Plant on Dec. 23, 1951. On Christmas day it was cold, below Zero, and only cranked over a couple times. Dad had to start the '47 M to grind cattle feed. Since that First No Start that '51 M has had M&W live hyd, and Charlynn PS added, cranks even harder now, add in the 4 inch high compression M&W Add Power pistons and NO WAY would the typical 1955 vintage 6v battery start that tractor. But the 1000 Cold Cranking Amp 12V spins it pretty good.
I'm agreeing with Old Tanker, they can't kill off 6v battery and charging systems soon enough. The 6v starters work great on 12V.
