Looking for magneto and adapter for ford 2n

Richard0990 · Sep 16, 2020

Hello I'm interested in trying to find a magneto and adapter for my 1947 ford 2n tractor. Any information on what magnetos fit my tractor as well as where I could find one would be greatly appreciated.

I had the magneto, but sold it. I don't remember the model but it was a Fairbanks Morse type J. I do remember the kill terminal was not on the side of the magneto like other type J magnetos. The kill terminal was in the large distributor cap towards the bottom.

Ok cool I was doing some research and fairbanks and morse did come up but it no true definite answer answer as to whether it would work or if there were other brands. I'm going to try a old local ford dealer i know of that has been in business since 1946 and see if they have any paperwork on them. Thank you

I have one, (untested), would probably need to have the points cleaned or replaced.

NOT sure what a fair price would be nowadays?
