Description
Overview:
The Magneto Drive Gear is a precision-machined component that links the engine to the magneto, keeping ignition timing stable under load. Built from robust metal for long service life, it is a Genuine JAP replacement to the Ransome specification for engines in the JAP 444H and 444H-2 range. Correct gear mesh and profile are critical for consistent spark delivery, easy starting, and smooth running, especially on older industrial and grounds-care engines. This OEM gear (part no. 29732) is made for a direct, accurate fit and dependable operation. It is suitable for routine maintenance, rebuilds, or restoring reliability where the original gear shows wear, pitting, or chipped teeth. Ideal for equipment powered by JAP 444-series engines commonly used in grounds maintenance and light construction machinery.
Key Features:
- Genuine JAP part for assured compatibility and performance (OEM 29732)
- Precision tooth form to maintain correct magneto timing and smooth drive
- Durable metal construction for resistance to wear and shock loads
- Manufactured to Ransome specification for engines using this setup
- Direct-fit replacement to OEM dimensions for straightforward installation
- Helps cure symptoms from worn gears such as poor starting or misfire
- Stable engagement reduces noise and premature wear of mating components
- Suitable for preventative maintenance and engine overhauls
Typical Applications:
Used when servicing or rebuilding JAP 444H-series engines to restore ignition drive accuracy. Common in heritage grounds-care equipment, compact rollers, and other machinery where these engines are fitted. Replace during timing work, when teeth are worn or damaged, or as part of a full ignition overhaul to improve starting reliability and running quality.
