Hi. I might be having an early Model K coming home. Books are on the way but what make and model carb and mag were used. I think that I remember the mag being an Eisemann GV4

Thanks

Ken

Ken,

Carb - Early used Zenith C6EV

Late used Zenith 62AJ12

Mag - Early used Bendix Scintilla C-4

Late used Fairbanks Morse RV4B

Hope this helps

It is going to be early. It is a 1930. I am never happy until the tractor is stilling in the yard and with this as a three way deal there are plenty of things that can go wrong.

Trying to remember where I passed on one of those mags once. I would have been happier if it was a Eisemann GV4 as I have several on the shelf and have had more than a few of them torn apart

Ken,

Wasn't thinking of the very early 35 or K with the steering wheel and 3 speed trans.

Up thru serial #51 used a Kingston Carburetor and then switched to the zenith C6EV thereafter

For the mag, thru mid 1934 (serial #3126 approx) the Eisemann GL-4 was used. From that point the Bendix-Scintilla C-4 was used.

This is all taken from printed material so don't take it as word of law, but it is a pretty good guide

Serial number 132 if I remember. I would much rather deal with a Eisemann GL4. The junk M that is in the same yard also has a base mount set up for the mag.
