ADLM: You don't realize it, neither do most of your respondants, however you've asked two completaly separate questions. Number one 6 or 12 volt, and in my opinion keep it 6 volt. 6 volt will start a well tuned Farmall A anywhere in North America down to temperatures as low as -40F. It you plan to use it colder than that, first get your head examined.
The second question is the charging system, and in that case alternator wins hands down. I have 3 offset Farmalls, all alternator charging. Super A with 6 volt alternator, 130 and 140 with 12 volt alternator. Super A and 130 were done in 1992, 140 in 2004. The Super A has been absolutely trouble free, even giving me 13 years on that new 6 volt battery installed in 1992. I can also tell you, next time I need a new battery for 130 and 140 they will become 6 volt alternator charging system.
