Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / Maintenance and Repair / December 2005Case SC tractor magneto
I'm looking for some info for my uncle. He's looking for information on how to rebuild a magneto on a Case SC tractor. The year range is from 1940-1950 and it's 4 cylinder gas. That's all the info he has (right now) on the tractor, I don't know if more is needed or not. If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated. > I'm looking for some info for my uncle. > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated.

You need to know what kind of magneto it is and find a magneto rebuilder. Ask at any small airport. If the tractor has an electrical system you might want to convert it to battery ignition for easier startting and better running. >You need to know what kind of magneto it is and find a >magneto rebuilder. Ask at any small airport. Case made some magnetos that were certified for use on aircraft. Some of the aircraft engine rebuilders are familiar with them, especially if they do many small engines for older airplanes like the Piper Cub, Aeronca Champ, and so on. I have two of those mags on my Jodel (homebuilt airplane) and they produce a hotter spark than the new Slicks I work on as an aircraft mechanic. They have really good, strong magnets in the rotor. Biggest problem will probably be finding parts for those old mags, especially things like the distributor cap or the coil, the plastic insulation of which tends to deteriorate with age. Mine are still OK even though they're 59 years old.

Here's the link that should have been included in an earlierpost. They may be able to help. http://www.ytmag.com/cgi-bin/ntracz.pl?m=case > I'm looking for some info for my uncle. > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated. Here's an interesting site with several links to parts, manuals, forums and videos...and pictures. They seem to have an extensive index of Case tractors. Good luck in the quest. I have a friend in California who has been bitten by the tractor bug...he's restoring an old Fordson of about the same vintage as yours. |
