KC9KAS 4,741 #1 Posted February 26, 2017 Looking for a replacement ignition (magneto type) for a 1969 RAIDER 12. Wheel Horse part number is 8362. Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pfrederi 17,114 #2 Posted February 26, 2017 (edited) Are you looking for originality or functionality. Those old heavy duty switches (carried full stating amperage) are expensive. Still available from toro for about $70 Edited February 26, 2017 by pfrederi Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Still available from toro for about $70 Yeah, I know....Tractor belongs to someone else. I need to check with them to see what they want to do. I figured I would get any options ready before I called to report. I have found that a lot ignition switches have the exact same terminal layout whether they were made for battery ignition or magneto ignition. Meaning two rows of 2 terminals, and the 5th terminal centered below in a 3rd row. Really need to watch that I get the correct switch! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pfrederi 17,114 #5 Posted February 26, 2017 Cheap alternative is a Magneto switch from a big box store or TSC and an inexpensive solenoid (we aren't moving mega amps here) together probably around $20+/- 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was thinking I could do as you say....If anyone thinks this is not possible, please let me know! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pfrederi 17,114 #7 Posted February 26, 2017 Be very careful here if some one put a battery ignition switch in a magneto tractor serious damage may have occurred If there is a solenoid present just find a cheap magneto switch from Lowes etc. Heavy wire battery + to the solenoid, Heavy wire Solenoid to starter. Light wire S ignition term to the small solenoid terminal. There will be 3 wires from the engine. two will be the same color they are the AC source for the charging system and go to the regulator. the third wire is the Mag kill it will go to the M terminal on your cheap swiitch 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
