This is of importance to anyone who works on or builds old engines fired by magnetos instead of battery ignition system. It's loaded with pictures and nuts-and-bolts how-to for common tractor magnetos, but also touches on generators and starters.

While some modern devices are designed to be thrown away, old machines are designed to be serviced and repaired.

How To Restore Tractor Magnetos is the essential guide to farm tractor electrical systems and offers the tractor restorer all the information needed to restore, repair and diagnose magnetos. Authored by the late Neil Yerigan, who was a master of working with vintage electronics, the book comprehensively covers how magnetos function as well as how to troubleshoot and repair common problems. The fine art of non-destructive disassembly is covered in detail and is a key ingredient to keeping your magneto (and your tractor) happy and running.

Now back in print, How To Restore Tractor Magnetos includes sections on the most common magnetos, including those made by Wico, American Bosch, International Harvester, Fairbanks-Morse, Case, Eiseman and more. Also included is voltage regulator field repair and testing, electric starter motors, and wiring advice. Yerigan augments the book's technical detail with anecdotes about the trials and tribulations of day-to-day life in his state-of-the-art (for 1936) south Minneapolis electrical repair shop.
