Magman, the H I'm redoing for work on a deer lease has a coil wired to the outside rail and is missing the one inside, it quit firing last Fall. I've a parts H with a complete mag that obviously hasn't been used in many years and would need a tune-up. I have never messed with a mag before was the reason I was asking about changing to e.i. You think I should just take off the complete one and send it for a redo?

Hi Matt, Do you know if the one on your tractor has an enternal coil still there or did they discard it when they put the coil on the out side? The reason I ask is new coils come without the centers and they are a lamanated stanless or something simaler steel there is about 24 little flat pieces put together to form one then they are rivited and unless someone has a few around there hard to come by. The dealer gets like $75.00 a piece for them its rediculas. The only draw back to what you have now is that you must have a battery to run your system whereas with the internal coil the mag makes its own power.I You can email me and I will tell you how to test the one extra you have. I can rebuild it for you or sell you the parts or what ever you want. The only hard part for most is removing the trip and pressing the coil centers without reuning the center or the new coil. I will unlock my email above for you.If you want I can even take your spare on trade to ofset the cost of parts for the one you will use. JUST LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU NEED I WILL BE GLAD TO HELP. JON

I'll butt in even though I'm not MagMan.

Put the old magneto on your tractor and see if it starts. Just because it is old and has been sitting is no reason to think it will not work.

but first I would put points, condenser, a new cap and wires on the distributor you have. Just because it quit firing is no reason to give up on the system used on more tractors and cars than any other. They are cheap to fix. A new coil is only $25 or so.

All that said, I prefer a good magneto.

So remember if you get the magneto rebuilt and put i ton the tractor and the problem is the sparkplugs it still won't start.

The H that quit firing has a mag, but instead of a coil inside, it was rigged with a regular coil haywired to the rail. matt.

In that case, I'd still switch mags and try the other one.

Yes

Like a distributor, make sure the new one is set like the old one before going back in.
