I have a Wico C mag on my H which I was going to have rebuilt.

I've had several people tell me that I should trash it and get a Wico X instead. Is one better than the other? Just looking for opinions.
 
Wico X is a better mag in my opinion. The large cap on the Wico C is not made at this time for replacement.
 
The X mag is better than the C series. 1 the X parts are easier and cheaper to find and 2 the X has a ball bearing and a bushing supporting the rotor at each end. The C has a bushing supporting the rotor in the middle ? and the post in the case for this can break and let the rotor drag.
 
The later Model X with bearings is in my opinion a better Mag then the older Model C.

Thanks, that's pretty much what I was told. Would I be better off to buy a rebuilt X rather than sending off this C to be rebuilt? Is there any market for reselling the C?

If there is a resale possibility or you would like to keep the tractor as original as possible or to resell the mag. The place where a had my C's redone is called Weaver's Magneto Repair I had them redone about 15 years ago i havent had to touch them at all they sit out in the rain and still work just like they should. It would be much cheaper to have it redone. The number is (419) 896-2827
