Afraid I have to disagree with Rusty on this one. The old IH generators are capable of producing 12 volts with little (if any) reduction in life expectancy. Mine's in a 12 volt system and is still going strong after years of operation.

We haven't had the discussion for a while on this forum, but a generator is basically a current-producing device which doesn't really care too much what its output voltage is, as long as it doesn't exceed its maximum. Resistive heating in the armature follows the square of the output current times the armature resistance, so unless the voltage regulator calls for more current at 12 volts than at 6, the armature heating remains the same.
