It will be the charging system that we will be looking at. The
tractor has a 6 volt generator and an external regulator. The
easiest thing to do would be to take the components off and
have them tested. Look for "Automobile Electric svc" or
"Automobile machine shops" in your yellow pages.
Otherwise, do you have a multimeter (volt/ohm meter)? If you
can get the bugger running you could check the voltages coming
off of the terminals on the generator and the Bat. terminal on
the regulator.
Do you have any other 6v tractors? You could swap out
components that are known to be good on the other machine to
try to pinpoint the cause of the trouble on the M.
My personal 2 cents worth are that you DON'T need to switch to
12v. The 6v system will work fine, we just have to locate the
trouble.
Of course, you should check all electrical connections to make
sure they are clean and making good contact.
