1) Is 12 volts most logical, may well be, but I just prefer original equipment. Your tractor only YOU can make that choice.
2) Sure, maybe an M that must be started in extreme cold temps is a better choice for a 12 volt conversion, but an A etc should start fine with a 6 volt system if all else is anywhere near in good shape.
3) "I am told the regulator intended for 2 brush will not work and that i need a cut out and resistor controller for the generator"
Partly true but not necessarily 100% correct. a) Its possible to re wire to convert your genny to a 2 brush b) Ive seen BOTH 2 and 3 brush gennys that used a Voltage Regulator instead of a cutout set up c) If I converted a 3 brush over to a VR system I would move the adjustable brush as close as possible to the fixed brush.
SO IT IS POSSIBLE TO CONVERT YOUR GENNY TO USE A FULL FLEDGED VOLTAGE REGULATOR but it may not be for the timid and may take a bit of knowledge or even experimentation.
Looks to me like it may be simpler to just get a 2 brush and a VR to match it and go that route. The alternative is to stick with a cutout and LHDB light switch.
MANY PROBLEMS IN YOUR SYSTEM IS THE LIGHT SWITCH HAS A POOR GROUND OR ISNT WIRED CORRECT. ID TAKE A LOOK AT THAT FIRST. If your genny charges that well with F grounded maybe all you need is to insure a good ground on the LHDB switch or its bad, maybe has a bad field resistor. Is F on genny wired correct up to the switch??? Is switch well grounded????
Try to fix your genny F to ground problem may be all you need

Today's Featured Article - Timing Your Magneto Ignition Tractor - by Chris Pratt. If you have done major engine work or restored your tractor, chances are you removed the magneto and spark plug wires and eventually reached the point where you had to put it all back together and make it run. On our first cosmetic restoration, not having a manual, we carefully marked the wires, taped the magneto in the position it came off, and were careful not to turn the engine over while we had these components off. We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
