Hello all: Our cousin inherited a 1957? D7 17A and serviced the magneto . Does anyone in cyberland have an image from the manual that shows how to time the magneto to the tractor ? Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!
There's a little more information on the next page, I'm having trouble uploading pictures though. It is in the tech library also if you can navigate your way to find it.
I have 17A1176 with a Bosch MJK Mag and it only goes on one way so if it doesn't start I just switch the wires on the plugs. Good Luck
The magneto Bosch MJK on D7 17A is instaled verticalement and he is counterclock wise working

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
