Does anyone know what kind of magneto drive this is? Its not Matco or columbo. It has to much angle.

First I thought it was a fordson accessory but it was way to big.

Way to big…

This is a Matco drive and has to little angle to be the one Im looking for.

Are you trying to buy one like in the old photo?
Must be some reason to want that specific magneto drive?
The Fordson one you show tied onto a T engine with string was probably made by Bosch, and they did build a shorter version for the model T engine. While the Bosch Fordson and several others made for model Ts (including the Matco) are fairly common, over the years I have seen barely a handful of that style Bosch magneto drive for the model Ts. A couple other Bosch styles are also fairly common.
And no, I don't know of any available.

Wayne, I´m recreating this car, so I hope someone can identify this magneto drive so I can start searching for one to buy.

Wonder if it's home made? I would suggest asking on the general forum, you will get a lot more eyes on the question then here in the classifieds.
See if this helps.

I think it maybe a Lucas unit. I know of 2 vehicles in the UK who have them installed but I can't find any pictures. Nigel Hugo.

Looks like an Apollo or perhaps a Parkin.

Thank you! I strongly believe in Parkin! Is yours for sale?
