6 volts has the same power that 12 volts, just more amps.
More amps means that there must be minimal resistance for it to work as desired.
In starter motors, the commutor bars are a area of resistance. A new starter motor can work very well and degrade over time without actually giving up.
I would rebuild the starter. Or just take it apart and do the tests, undercut the mica, and clean the commutor bars. Make sure all cable connections are good and with no smaller wires added.
My dad has a Farmall H' and I have to do the starer about every 5 years.
We dont have any real problems with it if we put a new battery in every 5 to 10 years.
It has been a runner every 2nd day for lets see....bout near 25 years now.
Only thought of going to 12 volt once and then got new battery and cleaned up the starter inside and forgot about it.
