I have a Magneto on my Dad's 45 Farmall BN. If I remember right he had trouble with the mag when I was a Kid. I just started getting it back in running shape and noticed it does'nt have a H4 but a FM X438 Which I believe is Fairbanks and Morse Is this so, and what was it originally for.
I am in the process of getting an H4 from Magman. He suggests that it will run better.
Thanks PWL

Phil, Fairbanks Morse magnetos were built for many applications. Your mag could have been on about any early 4 cylinder engine. I don't know if IH used any of them directly in production or not but I guess it's possible and it certainly would not have been out of the question as an aftermarket replacement for the BN.

If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.

Are there any good reference materials to time them properly.
Like I say alot of moving parts in there
Would like to put new points and condensers in. But opened it and saw
alot of gearing and wanted to wait. Where would I go to get points and condensors for these.
Thanks Phil
