8N Magneto?

I'm passing on a question from another board which I thought someone here could answer. Haven't seen this one before.


Does anyone out there know where I might find a magneto to fit a Ford
Industrial engine? It looks exactly like a late 8N with side mount
distributor. But I think it must have had a magneto because it came with
a hand crank, no starter or flywheel ring gear or generator. There is an
adjustable idler pulley mounted where the generator would normally be
and there is a cover plate over the starter hole. There is no sign of
anything electrical on the unit except the spark plugs and spark plug
wires. It is mounted on a skid type frame with the radiator attached and
a 4 groove pulley on the flywheel. The Type # on the data plate of the
engine is 4-1007 and serial number is 1776-L5CG. I called Power Tech
in Fresno Calif. who I was told was the main Ford Industrial engine
dealer in the US and all they could tell me was that it was built in
1951. They had no other data. I have also quizzed Neil Yerigan and he
also is puzzled at this .
Thanks in advance for any input!

Sounds like a combine engine to me. Many did not have an electrical starting or charging system. The magneto is probably not the hard thing to find (being many were universal 4-cylinder Wico mags which fit other makes as well). The adapter may be though. Check with farm machinery junk yards that have combines, self propelled or pull-type.

I think we are on the right track here. I got a link to a picture of what I think I need.

For what its worth, the mag on my war model 2N is a Wico. Unfortunately, it is on a front mount distributor model , so getting you the numbers if i could even find them, wouldn't help much. Do you not have a distributor on it at all? And by the way, what does this motor power?
