I (past used tractor dealer and farmer) have SUCCESSFULLY used several 6 volt gennys on a 12 Volt conversions and NEVER had any problems.
NOTE 1) I used a 12 Volt Voltage Regulator NOTE 2) Im NOT saying they charged at any super high rate ONLY they did charge no problems.
FYI A genny doesn't necessarily exactly know its precise output, a gennys power increases as 1) It spins faster or 2) The magnetic field strength in which the armature rotates is stronger WHICH HAPPENS IF THE FIELD CURRENT IS INCREASED.
NOTE 3) A job of the Voltage Regulator is to control, limit and regulate FIELD CURRENT and as its increased the genny produces more power (or it spins faster).
NOTE 4) HOWEVER a risk of damage is if field current increases THEY could overheat and 6 volt generator fields and 12 volt generator fields can be different.
NOTE 5) FOR THE RECORD I recommend to use a 6 volt genny at 12 volts Field Coils should be swapped out for 12 Volt coils and similar the armatures swapped out... HOWEVER I havent done EITHER yet never had a problem thats ALL Im saying...
Finally Im NOT saying its the way to go Im ONLY saying I did it several times, they charged and never caused a problem. HOWEVER if used hard n heavy for long periods at high charge currents (maybe battery is bad or theres a heavy current load??) there could be damage maybe because the field coils overheated ??????
There ya go, do as YOU please this is ONLY my experience and NO WARRANTY it might work for you TO MANY VARIABLES AND LOADS AND BATTEREIS all of which matters

Today's Featured Article - Talk of the Town: What's The "Stuckest" You've Ever Been? - by Edited by Kim Pratt. Another great discussion from the Tractor Talk Discussion Forum. The discussion started out with the following post: "I was about 14 (part of the problem) when I got stuck. I was disking with a cab equipped IH 966. The window was dirty and I was driving into the evening sun. It was hard to see and it was my first pass down the field. I got the tractor so stuck that the underside of the tractor was resting on the ground. My uncle wanted
