J4 magneto

Postby Scooter1 » Sun Mar 13, 2022 11:59 am

Went to replace the oil cup cap on the magneto and can’t get the remaining brass from the old cup out.
Was going to run a drill bit down through the oil cup access but want to make sure no shaving fall into magneto.
Any recommendations on how to proceed. I have removed the magneto fr9mmthe tractor so I can disassemble if needed?
Any manauls that show how to disassemble ?

Is there any of the brass remaining above the casting?

I'd probably try to collapse it and get it out in one piece. Since I don't have a small enough punch/chisel, I'd sharpen a small nail and try to drive it in along side the oil cup.

When that failed, I'd remove the flange before drilling it out. As I recall, removing the flange requires removing the impulse coupling (using a special tool to not break it). Then the flange is held by 4 screws. The screws are an odd length, so don't loose them.

I would take a little cotton swab and put in the brass whole to block any shavings from falling in . And then I would try a left hand drill bit and try to twist the brass insert out. If that is successful use a shop vac. And small tweezer to pull out the cotton swab. This should stop any shavings from falling in.

In addition, see if you could set it up so that you are drilling in the "up" direction instead of "down"; should be quick since it is brass.
