The 6 Volts isn't your problem. The generator and regulator are your problems.
On 8 Volts, you still have to deal with the generator and regulator.

Get the commutator turned on the starter and new brushes installed. It'll work like new and practically flip the tractor over when you pull the rod.
Once the Cub starts good, you can almost live with the not charging thing by putting the battery on a charger/maintainer after every run.
