Guys, please avoid using technobabble and abbreviations, especially ones you just made up on the spot. Our new friend johndd might not be up on our "lingo" and until we establish his level of expertise, it's best to use plain English.
johndd, in a nutshell, the Super C was originally a 6-Volt positive ground system (what Brownie 450 calls "6 P", which is a shorthand that I've never seen before). That means it takes a 6 Volt battery with the + terminal connected to the tractor frame, and the - terminal connected to the starter.
It sounds like yours is still original given that it has the 6V coil. However, you need to identify whether the tractor still has the original generator, or an alternator on the left side of the engine. A generator will be a mostly smooth cylinder, usually painted red at some point, but sometimes black if it was replaced since the tractor was painted. An alternator will look stubby with ventilation slots, and will generally be natural metal color. A sure telltale sign of an alternator conversion are crude homemade brackets and/or threaded rod holding the alternator.

I’d probably plowed about 3000 acres (in my head anyway) by the time they found me. This is where my love for tractors started and has only gotten worse in my tender 50 yrs on this “green planet”.
