Wico Rotary Magneto Parts
Wico started out life as the Witherbee Igniter Company. Located in Springfield, MA, their primary mission was to build quiality ignition systems for stationary engines. Early mags were all oscillating design and were for 1 and 2 cylinder engines. Early models like the "L", "O", and "R" were considered high-tension mags, but they used no points. They had only a primary wound to produce a very high voltage. They were surprisingly hot and easilly jumped the gap on a spark plug. They eventually lost favor because they were very noisy and were difficult at best to adjust. Later variants of the "L" series mag incorporated a set of points and a more traditional coil setup. From this time forward, every mag they designed contained points (a wise decision!)
In the late teens, Wico was producing an impressive array of oscillating mags designed for engines from small to large in size. Current models included the AX, PR, (later replaced by the EK), and the OC for large oilfield engines. OC mags were very hot and reliable and many are still in use to this day on oilfield pumping engines. At some point in Wico's early stages, they had the misfortune to produce a mag called the B1 (or the B2 for 2-cylinder engines). It was their first rotary mag (though technically it was an oscillating design internally.) The mag was designed to be a disposable mag, since no repair parts were ever produced. It was also their first major experiance with pot-metal. It was a spectacular failure. These are terrible mags and are generally considered unrebairable.
Wico then straightened it's act out by producing a very long line of rotary mags including the "LD", "A series", "C", and finally the "X series". These were extremely reliable and all are very repairable.
I can get most parts for Wico rotary mags, and I can get nearly all parts for type XH mags. Parts not listed here may be a special order item and take a couple of weeks. I addition, I can get new mags for many applications (type XH). Call, write, or e-mail with requests. I also have a large collection of parts mags with used but good parts.
Check out this application list for XH series mags. It is divided into 2 parts, one for Caterpillar mags, and one for everything else. Look for the specification number on your mag. It is located on the ID tag on the side of your mag. Then look across the row for the parts available for that mag! This list is in development so it may take a while to get it completed. It is a large table and is a LOT of work.
Application List For XH-Series Mags
Application List For Caterpillar Mags
Wico rotary mags were most popular on John Deere tractors, Case tractors, and Wisconsin engines. They were used, however, on countless other engines. Early John Deere tractors used the type C Wico (among other brands) and later John Deere tractors used the type XH mag. Be sure to get the right mag type before ordering parts. I will be adding a LOT of other parts here real soon. There are also LOTS of parts available for Wico mags used on Caterpillar engines, far too many to list and to stock. (Once I sort out what is popular, I will stock them.) I can get most of them at a reasonable price (far less than from Cat). If you don't see what you need, let me know. Chances are I can get it.
I can get coils for most mags and can supply replacement condensers. There were also several other mags other than what is listed here. I can also get parts for some of those as well.
International LA & LB engines used Wico mags (AH-1 and the H-1) as well as IHC mags. Parts are not interchangeable, but the mags themselves are. Parts for the IHC mag are listed in the IHC section. Parts for the AH-1 and H-1 are listed here. The parts for these 2 mags are NOT interchangeable. Look for AH-1 coil covers next year. The condenser for the H-1 & LD mags is a generic one (the original is no longer available.)
The table below lists parts sorted by magneto type. The part numbers in the description field refer to the original Wico part number. If you are unsure about what model magneto you have, e-mail me with a description and some pictures if you can, and I will try to help you identify your mag.
The last Wico rotary mag I have a few parts for is the J & JEM. This was a vertical mag used on Ford Model A cars and a few other rare applications.
