Over the years I have seen and or replaced quite a few starter drives on vehicles that came with factory 12 volt starting systems.

Be it a 6 volt, 12 volt, 24 volt or a 6 to 12 volt conversion the fact of the matter is tooth damage on a drive gear can and is caused by;

-seized up drive clutch

-worn nose cone bushing

-improperly installed or shimmed starter

-trying to engage starter when engine is already running

-worn or bent fork arm and or pivots

-broken loose or missing starter mounting bolts

-attempting to start engine with poor or low battery voltage to starter

-improper starting fluid usage and probably a dozen other reasons.

I have worked on a significant number of engines on equipment and vehicles that were converted from 6 volt to 12 volt and honestly I have seen way more starter problems on engines that came from the factory with 12 volt systems than ones that were converted over from 6 volt.

It's real easy to put the blame on the voltage but in reality the low number of failures on conversions simply do not support it.
