Should be able to find another 12V generator and then decide if you want to go with positive or negative ground. Yes, would need the field coils changed and different armature in existing generator and 12V regulator. Starter could stay the same or be converted also but probably needs bushings and brushes anyway. On some of JDs when converting like that the 6V starter put on 12V spins too fast and won't let the impulse in magneto catch like it should for starting. The properly converted 12V starter won't do that. Some regulators will work either way for ground polarity while others are only for one specific ground type. I agree with the others if you can get bushings, and brushes and get starter and drive and generator in better shape they may work just fine. The larger size cables are a must on a 6V system too. A lot here are also using the gel type 6V Optima brand batteries if you don't mind the look of them or can hide it in battery box anyway. Old Willys jeep we had always worked fine in winter with 6V after rebuilding starter and generator and all new cables. Contact Mike Greene over there at Independent Ignition and see he has parts or can tell you who does there. He use to wind mag coils for me till guys over here got their act together again.
