Overview

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.

His knowledge about old electrics was priceless, and he put some of it down in the book, How To Restore Tractor Magnetos. The book offers restorers important information about old stuff that hardly anyone knows how to work. Yerigan was also a fine writer and humorous man. That carries through in his book, as does his love of preserving, restoring and reviving old machinery.
