They are Great ,.And most will give a lifetime of service with no trouble , However , sooner of later they will
begin to fail and drive a guy nutz chasing carburaters wiring and a " now it works , now it dont " , peeka boo
magneto ,. No Wonder guys get so pizt with them when they start playing trix ,they want to pulvarize them with a
dozer,. There are lots of good mag shops out therfe that can rebuild better THAN NEW.


I like to to tell the true story of Pops 51 CASE DC on our place that ,saved the neighborhood during The
Blizzard of ,Jan 77 , 25 below at nite daytime never got above zero all day for 4 days here in southern
IND,.horrible 30 +mph winds took out the power the 1st nite . on the 3 rd day.still no power , it was sunny with a
milder wind that would knaw on a body instead of snap ya in half . we needed to help our neighbors get wood
,nuthin they had would start . and Our 180 hogs needed feed ground .All of Our batteries were dead,. My brothers
283 Chevy wanted to start So Bad ,but just couldnt get the ummph .
Dad Said ,.' Lets go Start the old DC ,. It has a Magneto",.there was ice and snow plastered to the magneto open
west side of the shed .the last time the DC ran was planting wheat in the fall. The 6volt Battery was all but
dead ,Dad said , leave it alone , Just use the Hand crank ,. my brother and i took turns cranking,.on mu 2nd try
the Ol Gent , went" Kap-phuump" ,.a few more Cranks and the OLBoy Came to life,He stammered and shivered at 1st ,
we quikly tarped the sides of the motor and made a makshift heat-houser,.That magneto fired DC Case Pulled Dads
Ford truck to start , whichin turn then Jump started the 283 chevy , Then the DC pull started the 830
Diesel ,and then Everything Running went around the neighborhood waking up the cold motors .So We Could all Help
ourselves .and The magneto fired DC Case was what started them all..
