I usually avoid commenting on any questions relating to 12-volt conversions. But the number of posts based on poorly understood or totally misunderstood electrical concepts is truly impressive. The thread really went in a ditch about half way through. I'm not sure where to start on straightening it out, so I won't try.
To get back to your original question, your best chance at an actual 12-volt starter that will fit a Farmall C is to check the one for a late (12-volt) Farmall 140 (requires a separate solenoid to engage), or one from a Farmall/International 404 (solenoid directly on starter). As 12-volt starters are often larger in diameter that the equivalent 6-volt, there may not be clearance enough for those starters. The later tractors may have had castings modified for clearance. Check for ring gear changes as well, in case they made some incompatible change in the drive gears.
In any case, the advice already given to just rebuild your existing starter is reasonable, known to work and probably as inexpensive as any alternative.
