I am a dummy when it comes to things like that but I have been able to take a Delco distributor completely apart and clean and put back together working. A distributor has to have a switch with wire in from battery and out to distributor. Too many years to remember just how things are hooked up there. If a Wico distributor throw away and replace with a Delco. Wico could not be repaired 40 years ago. On a mag Deere never put a switch on them. Sepposed to stop them by shetting fuel off, chocking or like we did, idle as slow as possible, put in high gear and apply both brakes and partially engauge clutch. Could be if you knew what to do be hooked to a switch to stop and it would be a one wire grounded switch like the IH Farmall had. If you had to use a normal 2 wire switch one was hooked to mag and the other was to place on dash where switch was mounted. Allis used a shorting strip on the mag.. I don't know of anybody in last 40 years that actually new what to do to work on a mag. I go to the Portland, Indiana tractor show every year and they usually have one or two mag repair on site venders there. Might just might be one for either the spring or fall swap meets. But then if you depend on it and have to wait a year to find one of those places you are stuck. Most anybody can figure out a Delco distributor.

Today's Featured Article - My Ford Golden Jubilee - by Troy Estes. This article is about my '53 Ford Jubilee and a story that starts with taking the tractor to my brother's Starter/Alternator Rebuilding shop for a wiring fix. The generator was shot as well as all the wiring. I dropped off the tractor expecting a transformation from a 6 volt to a 12 volt system utilizing the original generator housing, and a total rewiring of the whole tractor. The front end center pin bushing was worn also so I ask that they replace it if they had time. Well, that’s wha
