Well lets see, why would anyone want to convert to 12V?
6V doesn't crank the bigger tractors like M's over no matter how much scrubbing you do on the connectors, or if the cables are as big around as a baby's arm.
6V batteries don't last.
6V generator/regulator setups are a constant maintenance hassle.
Jumping 6V off a 12V battery, while doable, does entail some risk of battery explosion.
Everything else is 12V.
Replacing 2 junk regulators is about the same cost as a 12V battery and an alternator from the parts store, and a dam site cheaper than replacing the generator.
Never had a problem with a 6V starter on a 12V conversion. They work BETTER and last LONGER because they positively engage the ring gear instead of half-clicking in and wearing on the corners.
I just don't see the need to suffer. I grew up Catholic, on a small family dairy farm. The double-whammy of self-imposed suffering. Unlike many, I never learned to like it.

Well, although these tires were in good shape as far as tread was concerned, they looked real sad. All were flat, but new tubes fixed that. In addition to years and years of scuffing and fading, they had paint splattered on
