Josh, out in 6 land that may be true but up here in 3 land the temps get extremely cold during the winter months, couple that up with many older tractors having pop up piston kits with oversize bores as replacements at freshen up time and the 6 volt systems meet their limitations. M&W corp made gear reduction units for the starters of that era but they were just a stop gap
I have recently retired after fifty + years doing exactly that kind of work for the same dealership.

PS , 20 has been fairly hot recently , maybe I'll bump into you.
