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 ?

Re: J4 magneto
Is there any of the brass remaining above the casting?

Re: J4 magneto
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.

Re: J4 magneto
I think those are pressed in but You could try a small easy out to try to twist it out

Re: J4 magneto
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.

Re: J4 magneto
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.
