Running any 6v starter on 12v makes it slam the drive into the flywheel harder.
Some handle it well, others have problems, mostly depends on the design, frequency of starts, condition of the flywheel gear, and operator attention.
I've heard of using a light gauge battery cable to act as a resistor to calm down the starter torque.
You'll want to keep the flywheel gear in good repair, the starter bushings and drive repaired, be sure the ignition timing is not too far advanced to cause kick back, the engine in good tune so it starts quickly.
One of the most effective means to prevent problems is to be very observant and deliberate about each start. Plan ahead so you only start it as few of times as necessary. Have everything ready before you begin. You know your tractor, when it doesn't start immediately following the usual procedure, stop, find the problem instead of continuing to crank on it.
But the most important thing is to be sure the engine has completely stopped before engaging the starter. If the engine fails to start, and it is rebounding from a compression stroke, (turning backward), and the starter is engaged, it can and will break something!
