I think he means converting the starter to 12 volt instead of putting 12 volts to the 6 volt starter.I have no problem with 6 volt stuff,but I have converted dozens of farm tractors to 12 volt over the years.The starter will hold up fine for the most part,it whips so fast it only gets worked for a couple of seconds.I have found it to be hard on the drives and ring gears.Unless you want to run certain things that need 12 volts,I just see no reason to convert.The old argument that you can always pick up an alternator on tour may be going by the wayside.The local parts stores,at least the chain ones,are not stocking anything that they do not sell X amount of per month.They will have it at the warehouse,and they will have it by three if you order by ten,and have it at seven in the morning if you order in the afternoon.The local Napa carries NO 80's Delcotron alternators now.Auto Zone and Advance are the same way.Up here our 80's cars have rusted away and have been scrapped,those parts are non-sellers now and they have no need to keep those parts on the shelf when they can get them so fast.
