OK, ONE more time... you have a magneto.
Magnetos generate their own power, they are independent of the rest of the tractor's electrical system. If you can get it back together and working and timed to the tractor all will be well with the ignition system, with NO "mods".

Typically, a 6 Volt starter will work and last OK on 12 Volts, it's not imperative that you change it at this time.
So you need a 12 Volt battery and generator and regulator, or a 12 Volt ALTERNATOR with internal regulator, and info on how to connect up the one you choose to make it work. Post back when you are ready for info on that.
If not previously done, also need to swap the wires between the two post on the alternator, or it will read backwards.
