The 6 Volts isn't your problem. The generator and regulator are your problems.
On 8 Volts, you still have to deal with the generator and regulator.
Take the 8 Volt battery back where you got it.
A "restored" Cub should have new battery cables and a rebuilt starter. Sounds like you didn't do that. New cables aren't too expensive, even 2ga Walmart specials are plenty. Get the commutator turned on the starter and new brushes installed. It'll work like new and practically flip the tractor over when you pull the rod.
Once the Cub starts good, you can almost live with the not charging thing by putting the battery on a charger/maintainer after every run.
