NO harm in trying it (worse thing is you fry the genny lol), as I posted below I did it and never had any problems but that dont mean YOUR genny with YOUR VR and YOUR battery etc will do the same mind you NO WARRANTY as it depends on sooooooooo may variables we cant know here!!!!!!!!!!! If youre providing 12 volts it only takes half the current to get the same power mind you ie. A 6 volt genny providing 10 amps = 60 watts of power output, while a 12 volt genny providing only 5 amps = 60 watts (or 120 watts at 10 amps DUH 10 x 12). A genny is more of a current device then it is a voltage device. Its field windings (and armature) can only pass so much current before they could overheat and if you try to pump more through them (which produces more output) then designed for THEY COULD OVERHEAT!!!!! Or if you spin it faster (like smaller pulley) that also increases its output.
THE RIGHT WAY TO DO IT is have a shop convert it and they would install new field coils but if you want to try it as is and simply change to a 12 volt VR it could work (mine did) or it could overcurrent and overheat the fields
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED and just because mine worked simply by using a 12 volt VR DONT MEAN YOURS WILL it depends on your genny and its Field current ratings and your VR and your battery and RPM SOME WILL WORK OTHERS MAY NOT !!!! No way for anyone to tell sittin here

Today's Featured Article - The Fordson F Ignition System - by Anthony West. A fellow restorer contacted me earlier this year asking for some help and advice on a model F that he was restoring. He had over a period of months spent a fair amount of his hard earned cash on replacement parts for the old "trembler" ignition. Sadly though all his efforts seemed to be a waste of time and money as he still couldn''t get the temperamental old thing to run correctly!! If i said that this was a little frustrating for him that would be "conservative" in fact the problem had reduce
