Interesting find

Found this at the bottom of a box of old car magazines I picked up at a junk store. It is dated 1954.

 

Cool.........love that old stuff no matter what it is...........

 

nice

 

sweet find will be a good wall piece

 

I'm just going from memory but that magneto on the front looks a lot like the one I had on a 1948 Allis-Chalmers Model C.

 

Fairbanks Morse co. made hit and miss motors.

ya a lot of old tractors and equipment had mags i just used a ditch-witch from the late 50's early 60's with a old teledyne single cylinder engine with a mag it was weird to see

 

That is voodoo stuff man. You want no part of it. Send it to me, I will hang it on my shops' wall, to keep it from tormenting anyone else. I'm a nice guy like that. haha.

 

I didn't know F-M made magnetos for gas engines; I thought they mainly made diesels. They made the EDG (emergency diesel generator) for the last ship I was on, which I had to know for my ESWS qualification.

It seems that this publication, Bulletin FM123, is sought after by tractor restorers. Do you have the whole thing or just the cover?

 

You got some kinda luck Pete - good score.

 

I would suggest having a copy made of it in card-stock, so you can hang it if you want, and put the original in a plastic sleeve and put in a dry area in your home...Bryan

 

It is a complete publication, I have two others that I also got, will post pics of them. I collect anything engine related. I also have one of those old x-ray type books for Nordberg Diesels.
