Wisconsin engine points

Hi I have a Wisconsin engine with a magneto model number AENL and another number on name tag of 52B75. Im looking for Points for this engine and have exhausted
all sources that would be possibilities. Can anyone help me with a source or a way to go about finding points maybe with the original one in hand. Its of course
an older model and no one seems to have any parts for the Wisconsin engine. Thanks Mark

This should not be impossible once we know exactly what you have, Wisconsin didn't make the magneto so that opens up a wider usage/more likely parts availability.

Fairbanks or WICO magneto?

Got a photo of the points?

Wisconsin engines the most common magneto used was the Fairbanks Type J. If this is what you have. They use the same points, condenser as the type J 4B3 magneto used on Allis Chalmers WC and WD magnetos.

Thankyou both Wore Out and Tractorguy for responding to my dilemma. And Wore Out special thanks for diagrams/illustrations. I will get the point out and see if I can determine what model magneto I have. Your detailed help is greatly appreciated. It will be a few days till I will be able to get back to you. Mark

Hi Wore Out,

I finally got you some photos for points identification on the Wisconsin engine. They are just OK photos. Hope they help.

Did you find a model # on the Fairbanks mag?

That is a Fairbanks Morse magneto. it is not a type J or type X. Could be a type R or type V. Should be marked on the side of the aluminum housing.

I have a set of oem Fairbanks points here. They do not match yours. You magneto is not a type H, K, M,OH, or R.

I may be wrong but those look like the old silver contacts. If so you can carefully use a points file and make them new again and they will still be much better than anything you can buy today.

Found this showing the different types and part numbers.

M-MAN, I don't see where any of the points at the official Wisconsin site match what the O.P. has.

Seems STRANGE.

Looking at his photo, the points he has seem to be correct for the plate they are mounted on, look at the slot in the points that matched the slot in the mounting plate to use a flat screwdriver to move the points to adjust them.

Check out the points for an Alice Chalmers B on this site. I'm not good with pictures but it looks like it might be it.

I just remembered today that I got some for a fm magneto on my Contenntal power unit from the local AC dealer ages ago.

Thanks much M-MAN for idea of cleaning up existing quality points and parts/points Chart. Mark
