If you have a magneto there (should be an H-4) it is very likely original. I think, but am not sure, that battery ignitions were available as an option early on, if not from the very beginning.
Good arguments in favor of both systems.
I've known and heard stories abouut folks who "upgraded" their mag to the battery system if the original setup failed, but also those who bought a tractor with battery ignition because it was what was on the lot, but had it "upgraded" to a mag.
Both have the same weak points. They both have distributors, points, a condensor, and a coil. One will run without a good battery. The other won't. Some folks see that as the advantage of the mag. On the other hand, the variable advance of the battery distributor might be seen as better than the all-or-nothing advnce of the impulse coupling on the magnetos.
