Would someone know if Dist caps on either mag that came on a E27N are interchangeable also how can you tell the two mags apart just by looking at them while still on the tractor ? Thanks "CHUCK"
 
No they are not interchangeable. You can tell the diference because the early one has a big horseshoe magnet plainly visible. Hope this helps. If you need parts for either try www.magneto.co.uk I think they are still trading. reliable small company ships worldwide. MTF
 
You will have to know the brand and model of your mag. It could be original or another later brand replacement ? Lucas, Robert Bosch, American Bosch, Fairbanks Morse, Wico, Edison Splitdorf... ?? I have nothing for Lucas but the other supplier mentioned in the UK will. I might have caps for Bosch DU4 or others just need to know the model and brand.

A bit of confusion has crept in here.

The E27N came on the market in 1945 with a Lucas GJ-4 magneto. Don't know the exact date, but within two years it was replaced by the RF-4.

There was an after market version of the SR-4 available, but never fitted from new.

This information applies to tractors available in England and Australia. Distributors in other countries may have fitted their own magnetos, though I would doubt it.
