It depends. If the tractor is and always was a weak starting machine even though the electrical system is in good condition,then a 12V conversion may well fix the weakest part of an otherwise great tractor. It may also be an advantage if the tractor is converted to the battery voltage and polarity of 99% of what is built today, if you ever need to jump start it. The only down side is if you want the tractor to be totally stock or if a cable driven tachometer is driven off the generator. A replacment 12V generator or alternator with the correct cable drive may be hard to find.
