Something I remembered to mention 2 seconds after posting is that 12V on a 6V field that wasn't already burned wouldn't particularly stress it.
The strength of the magnetic field develped would also be doubled with the 12V instead of 6V. This would also increase the generator output voltage. This would reduce the duty cycle time and heating concerns.
The soft iron cores are pretty large and the field windings modest. The excitation wasn't being driven into saturation.
So if the 6V generator was running at more than just the break even rpm to make 14.4V and the field wasn't enegergized 100%. The smoke shouldn't have got out of the windings.
The person doing the origional 6V to 12V conversion wasn't a pro. There was a 6V system that wasn't working and they threw a 12V battery and regulator into the mix and have come up with the conclusion that the conversion ruined the generator. Sorry, it was already toast before the tinkering started.
Install a new field, a regulator that doesn't weld closed and enough rpm the field is energized only 30-70% of the time and it will be fine.

Old Time Threshing - by Anthony West. A lovely harvest evening late September 1947, I was a school boy, like all school boys I loved harvest time. The golden corn ripens well and early, the stoking, stacking,.... the drawing in with the tractors and trailers and a few buck rakes thrown in, and possibly a heavy horse. It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
