No offense meant to yourself or anyone else who converts an older tractor to 12V, but really, doing so indicates some problem in the past like starting, etc. which the 12V system seems to take care of.

Well, off my soap box for now ...... the advice others have given you is good advice if you stick with the 12V conversion.
