Badger bob · Mar 28, 2010

Ive got a 46 A that every time i need it ( once or twice a year) the batt is dead! i have a mag from a H and iam thinking that it will work on the A. am i right? thanks Bob

Yep, it will work, the H and A use the same magneto.

They originally came with an H4 magneto

If you disconnect the battery and put an inexpensive battery maintainer on it it will be fine. If it has an alternator, suspect a battery drain (see the response two threads above) Jim

I have 7 Farmalls that get very little use. I expect to have to charge the battery or hand crank them if they haven't run for several months. Or use a battery maintainer as noted. You CAN crank start a distributer equipped tractor provided the battery is not completely dead, even if the starter will not turn it over.

I put a battery disconnect on all my old tractors. The longest I have had one sit is on year, and when I started it up this spring it acted like it was just shut off 10 seconds ago

I dont use this tractor very often. and its not at home. so i think that its going to be mag fired. thanks guys for all the help. Bob
