ebinmaine 62,953 #2 Posted June 26, 2018 I believe the ignition switch is different for a Magneto engine but other than that I'm not sure. I'm going to follow along and see what the others tell you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pfrederi 17,125 #3 Posted June 26, 2018 Does teh magnum have a regulator on the blower housing or is it a 3 amp unregulated system??? if it has a regulator just bypass the one on your tractor and as EB said you will have to swap out the ignition switch. You may also find the choke will work backwards.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
953 nut 51,509 #4 Posted June 26, 2018 Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think the cam shaft on the Magnum has the lobe to open the points. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was thinking the same thing about converting an engine but re-read and now it seems like he's swapping the engines on the tractor. ??? Could be wrong. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
