John Deere Magneto Service Manual

   Fairbanks Morse, Edison, & Wico Magnetos
as used on John Deere Tractors and Equipment

Instruction, Testing, & Maintenance

Description:   This is a high quality scanned reproduction of the manual put out by the John Deere company for its dealers.  While it isn't the complete information given to the John Deere dealers, it is a condensed version covering the main servicing points. It covers Fairbanks Morse, Edison Type CD, and Wico Type AP and C Magnetos.   It includes information on mounting the magnetos to the test stand, Testing the Magnetos, Breaker Point Information and Settings, Distributor Rotor, Condensor, Coil, Rotor Bearings, Lubrication, Gears. Oil Seals, Magnets, Impulse Couplings, and more.  This manual is a nice addition to have with the specific parts and instruction manuals for each magneto.  It covers things to look for that the official dealer information does not cover.  It is as if it was written by a John Deere magneto mechanic that put down tips and things to look for in booklet form.  See my other listings for manuals for the specific magnetos. This manual has 16 pages.  To inspect the quality, and to view select pages, please click on the gallery images above.
