Magnetos vs. battery ignition?

Posted by Al on March 26, 2001 at 17:02:15 from (63.175.62.113):

I have a Super A that I plan on converting back to magneto ignition as it was when new, it has the IH distributor on it now. My Dad says the reason it was changed was the mag wasn't very reliable, from time to time the tractor would absolutely refuse to start with the mag. Is this an inherant problem with magnetos, or have advances in coils, condensers, etc. made them more reliable? I want my tractor to be as near like new as possible, but I don't want to give up reliable starting!

Any/all comments appreciated.
