If you convert, keep all the old 24V parts safely in a labeled box in a cool dry place. Someday a colector will pay extra for a tractor with all the parts. Off topic but anyways. Makes me cross when looking at purchasing an old tractor. Just to find the fenders, pto shields, battery covers and three point hitch parts etc have got lost over the years. The vender doesn't seem to realize replacing those parts may cost more than what thier tractor is worth. Now 12V v.s. 24V? Well it depends on who is doing the service and what the operating condions are. You can build a 12V system to the max and it will still barly roll the engine over in cold weather.A built 24V system will start the tractor in the same circumstances. It's the same reason why 1HP motors are about tops on 120V. Yet a 2HP and even a 3HP runs fine on the same sized wiring with 240V.
