I saw something about 12 volts mentioned in my search . Has to be mislabelled. If it was 12 volt, I think by now that I would have blown bulbs and cooked the battery.
As long as you have a 6 volt regulator, your system is protected. Your 6 volt regulator will keep the output voltage down, although you should have low output issues if it truly is a 12 volt unit.
Getting the pulley off: Remove the 15/16" nut off the front, then very carefully! Pulleys love to get held on to the shaft with rust or corrosion and you have to be careful not to bend the pulley. There's also a key on the shaft, so you won't be able to twist/turn the pulley. Do you have a bearing separator puller? Hit armature shaft with RUBBER hammer. There's quite a few tricks, let me know if it gives you troubles.
1/3 brush wear in 1000 miles? Yikes! You might want to have the commutator (copper segments where the brushes ride) machined true and undercut at an auto electric shop. I can do this for you, but I'm sure there is someone within driving distance. Do some research to make sure the shop knows what they're doing. I know of so called "rebuilders" who have less equipment than most car owners. If you go to one, take along the field case. They should be able to check the amp draw of your field coils and confirm whether they're 6 or 12 volts.
Send me a picture of your brushes and springs, I should have them.
Good Luck, feel free to ask me any questions.
