sde, Myself, like others have used 6 volt starters at 12 volts and never had a problem. When possible replacement with a new improved starter drive can help.
That being said, if all else is well and good you are CORRECT. Regardless of what drive or 6 volt starter you have if you're going to operate it at 12 volts IT CAN HELP REDUCE THE SHOCK AND DRIVE AND GEAR WEAR N TEAR IF YOU USE A SMALLER CCA BATTERY That's sort of a Well Duh. Similar, smaller cables will drop more voltage and can lessen the hard shock and drive and gear wear n tear when using 12 volts on a 6 volt starter.
Of course the engineering correct answer is to have the starter converted to 12 volts or get a new 12 volt starter, even though I never had a problem with 12 on 6.
NOTE I'm NOT saying what's best or needed or not needed, I'm ONLY saying your idea of a smaller CCA battery and/or smaller cables can indeed reduce the shock n wear n tear on drives and gears etc. so don't anyone have a calf lol

This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
