Sure they work n crank a bit better butttttttt (points will burn up a lil sooner unless some ballast is added n lights are brighter but dont last as long either) Im NOT a fan of the 8 volt system as its a band aid approach to fix the real problem. To start with on 6 volt systems I recommend the biggest heaviest highest rated battery that will fit in the box and use 00 Gauge battery n starter n ground cables....and have the tractor well tuned.
If you insist on converting why not go all the way up to the more standard n reliable n easy to get parts and make it 12 volts n be done with it??
That being said, a 6 volt genny can charge an 8 volt battery although it may not charge at any real super high rate. A genny by itself unregulated dont relly know its voltage, thats increased by turning it faster or pumping more current through its field windings which either a Voltage Regulator or a low/high charge light switch system accomplishes...... True a 6 volt Voltage Regulator can be tweaked up a bit if you have a VR instead of a simple cutout relay...
Ive used 6 n 8 n 12 volt systems satisfactorily but prefer 6 or 12 the best..
