[Farmall] unknown coil thingy

[cliff king]

That's exactly what it is. It's a magnet re-charger. I have one just like it that I inherited from my late uncle the owned Pryor Truck and Tractor..just southwest of you. It operates off a 6 volt battery. What you need to go with it is the steel bars to go across the end of the magnet itself. The IHC trademark on the magnet goes into the side that connects to the postive side of the battery. Look at an F-4 magneto and you'll see what I'm talkin about. Then slide a bar across the ends and smash the push button down a couple times. Slide the bar down off the magnet..not up...and remove the magnet. Reinstall the bar until you're ready to install the magnet onto the magneto. WaaLAaa!!!! You have just figured out how to work it too.

Hello all!

I recently stumbled across an odd item that at first glance made me think of
magneto chargers.  I don't think that's what it is, though, gauging from
units I've seen on ebay and elsewhere.  The link below shows several pics,
with a ruler for reference.

It was in a pile of old CB radios, scanners and related parts that a guy
brough to a recycling center.

Any ideas?

Thanks!
Tony
