A 12 volt conversion will spin your starter a lot faster and give you a charging system thatll actually charge at idle, but you'll never take top prize at the tractor shows for the ''Most Original Tractor with a Completely Dead Battery''.
You may have a worn out starter, or bad connections along your starting circuit. Check your grounds and clean up the metal-to-metal contact points there first before investing in a conversion that may only temporarily mask over some easily fixed issues with the wiring.
You can buy a 12 volt compatible coil, or knock down your voltage to a 6 volt coil with a resistor (get the 1970's Mopar type with dual resistors so you always have a spare).
Sure, you can just do the starter system and manually charge your battery aFter each sortie, but an alternator is an easy job to do and cheap if you have a junkyard and a welder nearby.
