Sparky Jim has you well covered on wiring etc. I will just add that just because you're going from a 6 to a 12 volt Generator THERES NO ACTUAL NEED TO CHANGE TO NEGATIVE GROUND although no harm either. Its just that if you stay at Pos ground you don't have to swap ammeter or ignition coil leads. If its a coil distributor ignition however (not a Mag) you need to EITHER get a 12 volt coil or else add a series voltage dropping (12 down to 6) ballast resistor if you use the old 6 volt coil. As Jim noted your new 12 volt voltage regulator needs to be suitable fro whichever ground you choose. One advantage of going to Neg ground is that a lot of 12 volt tractors are configured that way and it makes for easier jumping for an inexperienced operator. She will crank over much faster if you go to 12 volts.
We may tell you what is what but we rarely slap folks on here lol

What a surprise to open up your first old tractor's air filter case and find a can that appears to be filled with the scrap metal swept from around a machine shop metal lathe. To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
