magneto cutoff placement
Posted: Thu Jan 19, 2012 7:53 pm
For the early A series tractors where would the magneto cutoff switch be mounted?
I finally got my hands on a copy of Farmall Letter series tractors and it looks like its mounted vertically on the right side of the throttle.
Super A's seem to have them mounted in the electrical box. My '46 has an after market mag cutout switch mounted in the electrical box.
It works but it isn't right. I'm thinking mine should be on the throttle as well.
Reproduction switches are available but I believe there is a mount for it. I don't have a clue what the mount looks like.
Anyone have a close up view of one?
Incidentally on the book, I didn't pay the crazy price these have been getting. $40 shows patience pays off.
