I have a 1945 case LA Multifuel. I have made a few changes to it added an LP head changed the manifold to gas only and changed pistons to Lp. It has an American Bosche Magneto and in my 1948 book it says to time on the A on the flywheel. I tried this an it ran but with flames blowing out of the exaust and the manifold turned red hot. I found an E on the flywheel an timed to it now it runs very good. In my 1945 owners manual it says to refer to the magneto manual for timing. In my 1948 servive manual it doesn't have the Bosche mag an says to time to the A. OK anyone know where I can get a book on the Boshe mag or have the timing info that I need. I use this tractor for Pulling an I am tired of loosing when i know it should pull strong. At least I should beat those Ugly Green things giggle. Also I can't get the 4th gear to work it seems to gon into gear but nothing is there. I guess i will have to pull the tranny top on this one.

I think what you may need is a shop manual for the tractor. They sell them for the LA on this web site. I don't think a book on the magneto is going to be of any help. I think to get the timing adjusted to where you want it, you are going to have to tweak it under load. If I remember correctly, the book on my Case SC says that the magneto needs to fire when the "punch mark" is visible on the flywheel. I timed it this way, but to get the tractor to pull at it's full potential I hooked some plows behind it and kept rotating the mag a little with the plows hooked to it until I got it where I wanted it.

The problem on this mag is that each setting on the mag is about 10 deg. I wish I could move it 1 at time but the system just won't let me. also with the american bosche mag it seems to time differant than the with the Case mag. I thought that maybe someone online had a simular setup. Walt

The only other idea I have (which is probably not a very good one)is to go to magnetoparts.com's web site and perhaps email someone there with your questions?
