The '47 D I recently bought has a batter-coil ignition, and I'm not getting any spark. My '44 A has a magneto and has not given me any trouble in the ten years I've used it, so I think I'd like to put a magneto on my D. It seems there are two kinds that would work on this. One is a Wico; the other is an Edison Splitdorf. The Wico is like the book shows, and it looks like the one on my A. The Wico has the plug-in ports for the spark wires, while the Splitdorf doesn't seem to. Do they screw on? Not sure I can tell by a picture.
I have an oil pump I'll be mounting under it too, if that makes any difference.
Anyone have an opinion on what to go with? I plan to use this tractor for as long as it's useful to me, then probably sell it in several years for something else--so function and sale value both are important.
Here are pictures of the two types of magnetos. (I lifted these off the internet and don't claim anything on the images.)

When dealing with thinner metals like sheet tin, a long bolt and
