Chris1055 106 #1 Posted September 1, 2021 Hi. im currently working on a charger 12 with a battery magneto setup. Magneto was bad and decided just to go with a coil. Runs fine. Than I tore the tractor apart for restoration and I never checked to see if the old style stator will charge with the coil setup. Any info would be great.

pfrederi 17,739 #2 Posted September 1, 2021 Charger/Electros of that vintage had 10 amp systems with any of the ignition systems they used in that series...Battery/Coil, Breakerless or Magneto/points.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris1055 106 #3 Posted September 1, 2021 (edited) So if I wire it back up with the coil setup. The stator will still produce 18 volts even though I’m not using the magneto? Didn’t know if I needed a different stator now that I’m using a coil Edited September 1, 2021 by Chris1055 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pfrederi 17,739 #4 Posted September 1, 2021 (edited) The stator should kick out 30+volts AC which your regulator should convert to about 10 amps of 12v DC. The magneto coil (big black thing) was not involved in generating electricity for the charging system. The other small coils on the stator do it.

Chris1055 106 #5 Posted September 1, 2021 Thanks bud. You guys are always there to help and I greatly appreciate it!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris1055 106 #6 Posted September 1, 2021 And one more question when I reinstall the stator can I just eliminate the mag? Or clip the wires and leave it on? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pfrederi 17,739 #7 Posted September 1, 2021 I have never had a mag fail. When the breakerless fail I just cap the ignition output wire from the stator. I do not see why leaving mag in place would be an issue....But i am not an expert in mags... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
