2-n magneto kill switch

[barnboy]

does any one have a picture or info on the original kill switch used on the magneto equipped 2-n,s? where was this mounted on the instrument panel?

Here is one. I believe I have seen more than one type of mag on these tractors, so there may be others that differ from this picture.

jmor: thanks for the picture illustration of the 2-n magneto, from the looks of this am i right in assuming that the mag switch needed to be manually depressed at the mag itself on this application, rather than shut off at the instrument panel, as a-c did it?

That is correct. Pressing the metal tab against the metal housing grounded the screw terminal to kill spark. If one were so inclined, he could wire that terminal to a momentary push button switch such that pushing button grounded that connection and accomplish the kill function remotely.

jmor: i also can make out, buried down in the front the belt tensioner assy for the mag, are there any more clearer illustrations of this? again thanks for your help and patience.

Go here for that view: (note you have to copy & paste the link & remove the two * before entering.

Then, in the red banner go to Manuals, Index of Manuals, Parts, 2n-WWII steel wheels & magnetos.

barnboy A lot of fellows when they got of of the tractor they just turned the gas sediment bowl off and let the carburetor run out of gas.No key switch to worry about leaving on,to burn up points and coils. And no flooding over at the carb or filling the crankcase with gasoline.

You could use a horn button[universal type]to ground out the mag.---lha
