Nothing wrong with 6 volt,you just need some one who is smart enough to maintain the system.Ive been running a JD H for 42 years with the same generator.I replaced the muffler last year and checked the generator while it was out.Brushes and bearings were fine.A few drops of oil have kept it running fine.It has a simple cut out that needs some work.I suspect it needs the points cleaned and spring tension checked.My Ford tractor has been here for 22 years now.It had a no charge condition a few years ago.The shunt coil in the voltage regulator opened up and could not be repaired because it is wound under a heavy series winding.The new regulator had to be adjusted to make it charge at 5 amps.It took me about ten minutes to find out that the regulator was bad.The on farm hourly service rate is 90.00 per hour and shop rates run 60 to 70.The old generator regulator systems are very simple if you will take the time to study them.
