I converted my SMTA to 12 volts shortly after I got it. The battery was bad so it was as cheap to replace it with 12 volts and my experience with these was that they are slow to turn over. It is also much easier and cheaper to buty 12 volt lights than 6 volt ones. I used a delco alternator with internal regulator, not the 1 wire but the regular ones. I used the wiring diagram from archives supplied by Bob M and turned the bracket upside down as suggested. I would not go back to 6 volt on a bet. This tractor starts good anytime. It may be that the 6 volt will work with proper cables but it is also hard to find a good heavy 6 volt battery these days, especially oe that will fit in the battery box on an M.
