If you are reasonably confident working on direct current, 6V/12V, +/- ground won't make any difference. Just remember which end your ground is on as you hook things up that are sensitive to polarity.
The 6V/12V is more important only in ordering parts like coils. Polarity can also make a difference, though, with SOME voltage regulators, but until you need one, that's not something to worry about. What IS critical on 6V is having adequate cable for carrying heavy loads like your starter. The amperage they have to carry is double that of a 12V system, and the usual recommendation for them is 0-ga or 2/0. Regular 4 ga auto battery cables won't do the job on a 6v system.
And as costly as 0-ga or 2/0 is, you really only need short pieces with the right terminals on them, and that'd still be a durnsight cheaper than convertin' the tractor to 12V - ground.
Short and sweet, there's nothing exotic or to be feared about a positive ground system. If you can get the batteries into a flashlight the right way, you can work on a + ground system.

Today's Featured Article - The Cletrac General GG and the BF Avery A - A Bit of History - by Mike Ballash.

The General GG was made by the Cleveland Tractor Company (Cletrac) of Cleveland, Ohio. Originally the company was called the Cleveland Motor Plow Company which began in 1912, then the Cleveland Tractor Company (1917) and finally Cletrac.
