Don't sweat the 12v convert.  Heck.. you can probably get a vr and genny off 
a later 60's era cub and not have to do any ugly alternator work.  My 66 
IH-cub is 12v from the factory.. works fine.

As for the implement switch over time.. easy answer.. just get more 
tractors! and leave an implement on each of them.  I only have 13 ac.. but 
have a handfull of old tractors.  Box stays on one.. seeder/spreader on 
another.. ones a loader.. one has a mower and front blade.. etc... Saves 
time .. just hop on and go!
