Ben, these tractor's were released from factory with a 6v positive ground system with a cut-out (earlier units) or voltage regulator (later units or upgraded to regulator). Now then, that's how they started out. Many, many of these 1940's tractors and so on have been converted to a wide variety of any number of ways to wire them up or even converted to 12 volt. By what you have said, it sounds to me like your tractor has been atleast partially converted to 12 volt or perhaps entirely. Alot of people use the 6 volt starter with the 12 volt conversion. As long as you don't grind and grind on the starter when starting, the 6 volt starter will actually hold up fairly descent on 12 volt. If you choose to go back to the original set up, be sure you go back original with everything which will require you to find out what exactly the previous owners have done during there conversions. You can do this by simply looking at the tractor if you know what you are looking at. Did they reduce ampes to the coil? Does it have 6 or 12 volt light bulbs? And so on.
