Thank you Kenny. I'm getting ready to overhaul an H4 mag on a friend's 1948 McCormick Deering . Your tutorial was very helpful. I also watched Rudy's video on installing and timing.
Nice work on the magneto! For all your magneto and carburetor needs, just call Rudy and Kenny! Thanks for sharing the process, I can tell you enjoy working on these and you take pride in your work. 🇺🇸🚜👍
Thanks, Hyatt! It's fun working on these little guys. It's also good to absorb the knowledge (that's the most important part - the KNOWLEDGE)! Well, that and that Rudy keeps money flowing to keep the shop running and food on his table!
I liked the video especially the part putting it together. One request instead of high speed on the tear down, do it at normal speed and explain what to lookout for on tear down and etc. thanks for doing this video! 👍
What an excellent video! Yeah, I like this. I just learned a lot. Thank you! That magneto is better than new. I like the apparatus for recharging the magnet.
Thank you, Bryan! These magnetos are very simple, and very reliable. But, you definitely need special tools to do them right, and special tools to deal with special issues!
Turn it up!! I'm not sure why that part of the video got so quiet. Strange. I even went and opened it back up in my editing software - and all of the settings were where they should've been.
I'll be saving this video. I have one of these laying in the shop. I know the coil went bad. I've been wanting to restore it 100% just incase I need it.
Glad you like it! If you run into issues - you know how to find me! There are little tiny nuances that can happen. The chances are rare but I have seen it!
Very cool video. It would be great to see a WICO and Fairbanks Morse. I am interested because I have tractors with both of those plus the H4. My Fairbanks Morse on my AC "B" quit working last year and I swapped in a WICO until I get the FM rebuilt. Thanks for sharing. 👍👍👍
Rudy does a first class job. He rebuilt my Wico C for my B Deere last summer. Took it on our first event this year today and it was a wet stormy drizzle most of the day. I covered my mag when I left and during the day it got soaking wet but never missed a spark. We got caught in a downpour during the two mile parade and it never missed. Yessir he does a first class job. Yep it was a miserable day but sometimes it is at these events. Hope he is well and you also. Looking forward to more...
Yes, Rudy is the magneto master!! I help him out in the shop when I can. There's actually a good chance I did the Wico C while working in the shop. I do a lot of Wico C's! Glad it's running strong for you!
@@chad4132 if you're referring to the bearing race and seal at the back of the housing, the race requires a blind hole bearing puller. The seal is felt held in by a retainer.
@@KennyKizzleRustyNutzRanch you meant the seal is held in by a retainer? How is a blind hole puller able to get under the race if the bottom of the race is all the way flush in the pocket? thanks for your reply
I didn't want to show every step of the process simply because I didn't want to step on the toes of Rudy's business (the man I work in the shop for). I'm sure you'll understand that. I am more than willing to answer ANY questions you may have, though!
Restoring a 1941 H myself right now. I was working on my magneto rebuild. The oil seal retainer washers were damaged by corrosion, and need to be replaced. I came across your video here and was hoping you’d have part numbers. I can find the leather seal, but not the inner and outer retainer washers. Any suggestions? Thanks.
This makes me very angry. Sent my Mag to a veteran owned company for a mountain of money and got nothing like this. Your job was exponentially better in quality, parts and functionality. So wish I had known about this place sooner. Great video Kenny! Love it!
I'm sorry you had that happen. It really stinks to pay for quality work and get back something you were not happy with. The good news is, you know about Rudy's shop now.. And we're always willing to help! Glad you enjoyed
Squatch Sr over at Squatch253's channel has been restoring a couple of old mag testers with degree wheels and he doesn't have any info on it and isn't completely sure how it works. Maybe you could reach out to him if you know of anyone who may be helpful?
That 3:25 minutes was perfect dissemble...great! I could not ask for anything better what it was all about.
Glad you found it helpful.
Thank you for making the video, I enjoy the mag videos.
No problem! I'll keep bringing you some!

Glad to have been able to help!
For that camera being on your chest, it sure was a perfect angle 👌
Glad you enjoyed!
Thanks for sharing Kenny.
You're welcome, Geoff!

Interesting Video Kenny, Magneto looked a worked great. Nice job👍
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed!
That was awesome and really nice job. I wish I lived by Rudy. I would be working there also. Keep the videos rolling. Thanks Kenny
Glad you enjoyed, Rick!!!
That was a lot of fun Good job.

Hey Bud, definately one of your best videos yet!
Glad you like it!
Nice !!! Just wish I could of heard you !!! 👍🌎🌞😊

@@KennyKizzleRustyNutzRanch I have my volume turned all the way up all of the time !!! It may just be me 😒👍

I can do that! Both of those are pretty simple mags, but they have their nuances as well!

does the other bearing race, washer, seal, retainer press out of the housing the same way as the part you showed in the video?

Nice video on the assembly, but I do wish you had slowed down so I could follow the disassembly process.

We have them at the shop. Give Rudy Calin a call at rebuiltmags.com!
@@KennyKizzleRustyNutzRanch talked to him today. Thanks! I was just about to machine my own.
What kind of wire crimper did you use? It looks like it works well and I have been looking to purchase a better one.
I don't know the brand off hand. Just a generic crimper. I can let you know, though!
Would you use to pull the impulse cup off
It's a custom tool that we had made. You can buy them from the website. Rebuiltmags.com

Thank you so much Kenny! Very enlightening as I now know what should have been done.
@@fbh31118 There are other things to look out for that I mentioned in my video talking about "Common Problems" with the H4 magnetos.

I've already got my feelers out trying to help them. Rudy likely knows exactly how it operates!
@@KennyKizzleRustyNutzRanch Cool. Hope he can figure it out.
