STAYGOLD Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Wondered if anyone could fill me in on what exactly this is...I've never come across one of these, for all I know, might be a tractor part. Tag reads L.W. Jaeger Ignition Co., has a Bosch Magneto...please see pictures. Any information would be great. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter R. Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 This looks like an installation to covert a Model T to magneto ignition. Many car electric manufacturers offered after market equipment to convert model T's to magneto or battery ignition. American Bosch, Atwater Kent, Delco, Scintilla and many more....

dustycrusty Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Could be "T", but more likely, its for a Fordson Tractor 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leif Holmberg Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 How about a picture from the ignition side? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayne sheldon Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 99 percent sure it is for a Fordson tractor. The car/truck units are much shorter. That unit on a T or TT would stick out the side of the hood. A tractor unit could be adapted to a model T, they used the same timer. But fitting could be a bit of a problem, and brackets would have to be made. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter R. Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 Guess you are right. The magneto installation on a T seems to be more compact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dandy Dave Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 (edited) Yup, fits the American built Model F Fordson. 1916-1927. The later Irish and English built model N's came though with a mag from the factory. It is only good if you have the gear that re-places the timer roller to drive it. Most got left behind on the tractor that went for scrap. Dandy Dave! Edited July 25, 2021 by Dandy Dave (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
