Coil

[wyatt emp]

Does anyone make a repop coil for a 28 JD or will something else work?

I don't see why any 6 volt coil wouldn't work. Wyatt, how did you make out with the clutch basket ring? Bob L

If you have your original coil and it is shot, the innards can come out and you can put in a small 6v coil. I had to do something similar with mine, including making a new 'cover' for it from kraft paper and fiberglass. But it works like a charm. I can send photos if you like.

I learned this past weekend that the 26 27 had a coil cover... metal... that went over the coil to protect it from water, oil etc. Anyone have one or repro them? Because I would like to put one on my '27!

Cheers,

Sirhr

Sirhr, I'd love to see pictures how you repaired you coil. Can you post them here?

[sirhrmechanic]

I am not sure I have pictures of the process, but I can take one of the finished coil and describe it. I *think* I still have the mold I used for the cover. I'll see if I can find it and get a picture of it.

Cheers,

Sirhr

1925 and 26 had the coil cover. 1927 went to wasted spark and coil changed. The covers are relatively rare, but I come across them from time to time. I'll keep my eyes open for one.

Any 6 volt will do

Until you find another original coil or can repair yours, any 6 volt coil and a condenser will work. With that said, here's a few of the mounting solutions used by a few of the 2012 Cannonballer's on their JD's.

Great. I got one just like the first picture. I believe for a VL? Anyway I have more substantial issues. I sent my original generator and timmer out for repair and UPS lost it!!!!!!!

[23JDCA 808]

Bummer. I hope you had extra insurance. File a claim, and keep checking the tracking number using the internet.

[harleytoprock]

I think I have an extra generator and timer I could sell.

[wyatt emp]

Already got one but thanks.100_0119.jpg

[wyatt emp]

WOrked out great. Have it mounted and ready to go.

[wyatt emp]

I have the coul in picture 1. So does the condenser go on the timmer side(Negitive) or the positive side?

[harleytoprock]

Condenser goes on the timer side. Can is grounded and wired parallel with the points
