The six volt systems were used on small equipment. As larger engines, higher compression and diesels were into introduced. Then of course 12 and 24V systems were used.
A "H" is a wee little machine, not a two cylinder diesel.
The factory 6V system will work if maintained and the engine is inshape/tuned. Sad to say this is rarely the case.
So now the frustrated operator reaches for the bigger hammer/higher voltage to treat the symptoms rather than the cause. How about repairing the electrical high resistnace connections, rebuilding the carb and engine faults?
1st off most batteries don't get charged. As some cheap skates trying to save gas by shuting off the tractor 3 times just to pass through a gate. Or have no brakes and need to shut the engine off in gear to hold the tractor in place.
Get a volt meter and set the voltage regulator for 7.2V measured at the battery posts with the engine at fast idle. Tinkers setting regulators via an educated guess leaves something to be desired.
All clean low resistance connections and 00 gauge welding cable with HD connectors.
Check the starter and ignition circuits with a volt meter.Something is wrong at less than 5.1 volts cranking.

Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
