use of Fordson tractor magneto drive on car help requested

Post by Mark Gregush » Wed Oct 16, 2019 11:54 am

Does anyone have any info or pictures of how the Fordson tractor magneto drive is used on a car. I have seen references to it being done. I just got one and so far I see that the boss for the fan adjustment needs to be removed and 26/27 fan used and maybe the oil fill spout needs to be modified but not sure.
Thanks
I know the voices aren't real but damn they have some good ideas! :shock:

Mark, it sure is a lot easier to use the real deal. I have 3 complete units and will make you a great deal. Sorry to not answer your question, but it’s really a lot of work for little reward. There is a fordson owner that would love to have it.
