You should look at Oscar's Fordson pages.

If it has original American engine, then the magneto is an after market modification. If it has an Irish or English engine, then the Bosch was the standard magneto. I think perhaps the Lucas magneto from the E27N might also fit. I don't know exactly, but I expect a magneto would be about $200.00. If you don't care about whether it's original, or just works, there are several tractors that used base-mounted magnetos that you could adapt. Personally, I think IHC F20's had very good magnetos, but I haven't tried to fit one to a Fordson.

The Fordson House is talking about the factory original system with flywheel magnets rotating past coils that send current to the trembler coils. The timer selects which coil is to get the current, at the proper time.

After market high tension magnetos were either chain driven from the crankshaft, or driven through 90 degree gears from the camshaft. The gears were pretty weak, and probably wore out too soon.

I will post some pictures of some old units I have.
