Strange that a 52 Super C would have a magneto, but stranger things have happened. I would bet that someone put the mag on. My 50 C has the coil/distributor ignition and most built after that do as well that I have seen. At any rate my dad had the same problem with the C, and hand cranked it for most of the time he owned it. After he passed on and I started trying to correct the problem I replaced both battery cables, the battery, and made sure all connections were good, and cleaned the starter up inside, and it starts fine now with the starter. I still don't really know what fixed the problem, but I would bet it was a combination of all the above, mostly cables. The funny thing is that most say you have to use very heavy cables on 6 volt systems. I simply went to wal-mart and bought 6 guage off the shelf cables, and they work fine. I have these on 2 of my tractors with no problems. Not saying the heavier cables are not some better, just not absolutely necessary like some report if everything else is in shape.
