This is an original International Harvester Type L low tension magneto for an old engine. It was factory equipment on the IHC Type M engines in the 1 1/2 and 3hp sizes. It was also used on the 1hp Famous/Titan and Titan Jr engines. It has some issues with the mounting base but I think with a little patience and creativity it would be a very nice magneto! The bearings have almost no noticeable wear and it turns over very smoothly with good magnetic pull. The magneto has an original gear on it for a 3hp Type M along with the dust shield which is a bit dented up but could easily be straightened and also has the original name band. The gear could be swapped out for the correct gear for your engine if you so choose. The magnets have just been charged and it puts out a good, hot, blue spark that will surely run an engine if it is set up properly. These original IHC Type L magnetos are getting tougher to find every day so if you’ve been looking for one don’t miss your chance on this one. It would also make a great spare on the shelf. Let the pictures be your guide. You’ll like it. I can be reached at 262 573 1931 if you’d like to talk about it.
