FB magneto?

Did JD ever use a Fairbanks-Morse magneto? I seem to remember that a wartime G had one, but never seen another one. Just curious. Keep warm, all!

Yes, John Deere used the Fairbanks Morse DRV2B on the unstyled Bs. I can get you the serial number breaks if you are really interested. The DRV2B and Wico AP alternated up through unstyled B production as original equipment. Through the years almost all of the original mags got replaced with Wico C's. The C was less complicated and more reliable.

There was a DRV2A used on the unstyled A but I am not as familiar with the extent of its use.
 
FB did make them to fit John Deere's. Don't hardly see any. I had a chance to get one of the newer replacement models made for like a JD A or B. Should of gotten it as they have a lot more spark than a wico.
