I need help making a decision about my H's electrical system. First let me say for anyone who has been following... I won't be able to make my personal goal of October for having my H up and running. It's just not in our budget because of taxes this year for the new house, but next year should be better, and I'm hoping to use some tax refund for restoration.
Anyway, my electrical system seems to be an eclectic smattering of parts wired together. I'm going to be adding a light bar with lights and a rear light. Also I have to add a light control box with the ammeter in it, and the start button mount opposite of that. I'm going to be switching from a distributer back to an original mag as well.
It has been suggested to me by some local tractor club members that I should convert to 12v, especially for a tractor like mine that won't see a lot of work. Ease of starting, and less wear on the starter were two main reasons. Plus the lights of a 12v system are actually brighter and usable, I am told. And I can make it all look like the original 6v system. So, I've been chewing on that idea.
Let me show you what I have right now.
Here is the battery mount. I'm not sure if these are the correct 0 or 00 cables needed for 6v. How do I tell?
Here is, I'm assuming, a voltage regulator. I can't read that sticker. It's sitting where the starting tank will go, rather than under the main tank mount, where I will move it, or whatever replaces it.
And here is, I'm assuming, the solenoid. There is a up and down switch, I'm assuming acted like a key. I didn't know you could use a solenoid for a 6v system.
So, there is my electrical mess. What should I do with it?

The whole experience can be marred if one moves too fast and makes too many assumptions that they can just use "as is" some parts they should be closely scrutinizing and possibly attended to. In such cases, rework makes what could have been a fun project turn into an irritant or even a nightmare. Minor Irritants To give you an example of an minor but irritating proble
