[AJD] Eisemann GV2Q Magneto for 1929 Deere D

[Dave Ernst]

Bill,
Yea, I know what you are talking about on the EBay thing. My D has the Aero 
Splitdorf. The pot metal ends are seriously deteriorated so I started 
watching for them on EBay. Any and all of them that reference John Deere 
application go for $250 to $350, regardless of condition (excluding the junk 
ones). I rebuild a lot of magnetos so by watching and looking I found one 
for a four cylinder application there and bought it for $35. Now I got the 
ends I needed. <grin>

ps. When I check it out and if it is easily repairable compared to the 
original one I have all I have to do is change the cap.....
