I have a Jubilee. Bought it about 5 years ago. It was converted to 12v before I got it. I had to correct the wiring mistakes, ammeter wasn't installed properly.
That said, do yourself a favor, go to YT and buy a 12v starter too. After shearing off my starter drive for the second time in 5 years, I just purchased a 12v starter a few days ago. Should get it in a day or two. $147 shipping included.
Now some will tell you that a 6v starter will work on 12v. Yes it will and there are remains of about 10 starter drives in my bell housing to prove it.
If you double the voltage to the starter, you will double the amps, 4x the power. In the winter the oil is cold, engine cranks harder, and eats starter drives.
I've also lost the drive on my 12v converted Farmall C. Starter drives are about 1/2 the price of a 12v starter if you buy the drive from NAPA. Drives are cheaper on YT, but then you pay shipping.
Do yourself a favor, replace starter too.
Be careful not to buy a new 12v starter. Some are really 6 v starters. The seller, in fine print, says starter good on 6 and 12v.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
