THERE WAS CASE MAG'S ON AIRCRAFT ENGINE'S THEY HAD WIRE'S COMING OUT OF THE CAP. CAP'S WILL INTERCHANGEABLE AND USABLE ON CASE RC,S,D,V SERIES TRACTOR'S. DRIVE COULD BE ALTERD TO USE ON AIRCRAFT OR TRACTOR'S THE EARLYEST I KNOW OF IS A FRANKLIN AIRCRAFT ENGINE HAVING CASE MAG IN 1927. JUST A FOOT NOTE FOR MAY WANT TO KNOW.

Hey Don: My Dad said that Cessna used the CASE Mag. Any CASE Aircraft Mag I saw had the wires coming out of the top of the cap, and also used a Gear Drive instead of the coupling type used on the tractors.

Tom,
A good friend of mine bought two at a sale on Saturday for me. The owner claimed that they came off of an airplane motor. Is there anything else different about them? Don

What you see on the Bosch mags was Fritz the Flyer and he was actually a race car driver setting a new land speed record on a very early car with a Bosch mag on the engine. That was a advertising logo used by Bosch for years. Bosch made many tractor, industrial, military, and aircraft mags as well.

The Case 11JMA is an aircraft Magneto. I believe that Slick took over the Case aircraft mags. I think they could be found an many types of aircraft as, even today, there's a mixmash of Slick and Bendix on various engines.

There was the 4-CAMA Case aircraft mag made with the wires coming out of top of cap and having a gear drive impulse and magnet shaft was about a half inch longer for the gear and the flange was turned horizontal. A few other Case aircraft mags like it with aluminum cover for radio shielding and radio shielded wires also. They fit Franklin, Continental, Lycoming, Cessna, Pratt Whitney and others. There was a Case 601 6cyld. that had an alumninum cover on front like the aircraft mags and was used on a few 6 cyld. LP tractors and industrial engines. Case later became Slick Electro and made and sold many other aircraft, airboat, industrial, & military magnetos as well. Today they are Unison Industries and still in Rockford, Illinois. They discontinued the tractor mags and parts in the late 70s and early 80s and then discontinued many parts also for the early aircraft mags. I do have literature on the aircraft and industrial mags and very limited NOS parts yet.

I have a small cache of NOS Case magneto parts. Through my Case magneto manuals I have identified some of the parts I have are for the aircraft mags. Most of what I have are various impusle coupling parts for several different models of Case mags.

L.C., Some of the aircraft impulse parts are the same as for the tractor mags. Pay attention to the location of the pawls and keyway on the hubs. You have some adjustment to play with too so they can be made to work in the tractor mags. Amazing to me that Unison/Slick still makes the impulses for some of their mags the same as the old Case tractor mags but the new cost is outrageous. I try to find surplus aircraft & military mags and get the impulses off of those. Some of the Case and Slick CAMA aircraft caps and rotors and other parts will fit the tractor mags while others are different. Good place for those aircraft mag parts if they are old is on airboats or air-hover craft because of the liabilities involved selling them.
