Magneto Drive Oil Seal - is it necessary?

Postby Virginia Joe » Thu Jul 09, 2015 7:56 pm

I am replacing the magneto with a distributor on the tractor I’m rebuilding. I'm wondering if its necessary to install a magneto oil seal or can I leave the seal out altogether since I'm installing a distributor instead? :shock: :?

Any and all advice is greatly appreciated

Joe

Hi,
The engine has to have the oil seal, if you are talking about the seal that runs on the governor gear, at the drive for the magneto or Battery Ignition Unit. Both types of ignition systems use the seal there. :)

if you do not mind all the engine oil running out of the distributor you can leave it out, the seal is in the block, no reason to take it out unless its leaking
