Some catalog outfits (JC Whitney etc) offer 12 to 6 volt "voltage reducers". However to work the reducer resistance must be matched very closely to the load current required. Otherwise the voltage provided by the reducer will either be too low or too high.

Some reducers have multiple terminals to accomodate several different load currents (eg. 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, 3.5...amperes) The proper current tap is must then be selected when wiring it up.

For the typical tractor 6 to 12 volt conversion, installing an ignition ballast resister in series with the coil, and swapping all the 6 volt lamps for 12 volt is the simplest/least expensive solution.
