The '47 D I recently bought has a batter-coil ignition, and I'm not getting any spark. My '44 A has a magneto and has not given me any trouble in the ten years I've used it, so I think I'd like to put a magneto on my D. It seems there are two kinds that would work on this. One is a Wico; the other is an Edison Splitdorf. The Wico is like the book shows, and it looks like the one on my A. The Wico has the plug-in ports for the spark wires, while the Splitdorf doesn't seem to. Do they screw on? Not sure I can tell by a picture.
I have an oil pump I'll be mounting under it too, if that makes any difference.
Anyone have an opinion on what to go with? I plan to use this tractor for as long as it's useful to me, then probably sell it in several years for something else--so function and sale value both are important.
Here are pictures of the two types of magnetos. (I lifted these off the internet and don't claim anything on the images.)
