Unless the starter is shot or theres a battery or cable or switch problem or the engines in poor shape, theres no reason why a lil cub shouldnt start just fine at 6 volts even in extreme cold temps (plus that keeps it all original versus cobbled or jury rigged) . Heck even a much harder to crank H can start at 6 volts. I can understand a conversion maybe for an M in extreme cold climates but a C shouldnt be any problem at 6 volts. If the Cub has a good heavy duty battery and 0 gauge battery n starter n ground cables (NOT wimpy 4 gauge automotive) it ought to crank over plenty fast.
HOWEVER its your tractor and your choice and if you insist on converting,,,,,,,,if its a coil ignition EITHER add an external voltage dropping (12 to 6) Ballast Resistor OR ELSE use a full true 12 volt coil no ballast rerquired (no change if a mag),,,,,,,,change light bulbs to 12 volt,,,,,,,,,convert charging system to 12 volt,,,,,,,,if you use an alternator most are neg ground so that requires polarity swap (coil leads and if it has an ammeter those leads need swapped also)
