You can put a 12 volt Delco "one wire" alternator on any older tractor and it will work great, but you do need to watch the pulley size on the alternator. If it is very big you won't get much of a charge at idle speed. The 6 volt starter will work ok as long as you don't crank too long on it at any one time (which you shouldn't have to after the conversion). The magnetos don't make any difference because they don't use the battery for ignition. The make their own spark. You will need to change any light bulbs to 12 volt or they will burn out very quickly. If you have a coil ignition just change over to a 12 volt coil with a built in resistor so it won't burn up the points.
