Looks weird? With the hood on my Super H, you can't tell if it's 6V or 12V. Only if you hack a hole in the hood, will it look weird. Unless you consider the missing voltage regulator on the back of the electrical box as "looking weird."
Frankly, given that pretty much every vehicle on the road these days is 12V negative ground, you stand a FAR better chance of not having a jump start screwed up with a converted tractor. Most people don't "get" positive ground, let alone 6V, and will just clamp the cables on the way they think they should go, i.e. red cable on starter lug, black cable on frame.
Frankly, if the electrical system is gone and you aren't concerned about complete originality, go with 12V. On an H, the Hitachi 14231 alternator is much easier to mount than a Delco 10SI and not much more expensive. It's the one they use on Farmall Cubs.
