I'm wondering what kind of a voltage reducer might be available for the 6v starter motors operating on a 12v battery system. Something like the ballast resistor on 12v ignition systems. Of coure an ignition ballast reisistor wouldn't be heavy enuf for a starter demand.
I have several Ag 6v systems around here converted to 12v but retaining the 6v starter with no problems. But they are all small engines.

Maybe something else to research.

As for converting the 6v starters to 12 v windings i'm wondering how close something like a early 50's chev, F or Mopar armature and field windings would come to fit the Packard housings .
