If you have a magneto that needs fixing or need a magneto core, Leroy Blank says he can help you. At 32, he’s younger than many magneto experts, but he’s had enough work to keep his business, Quality Magneto Service, full-time for the last 2 years.

     While his background is working with hit-and-miss engines, he also works with magnetos on tractors, old vehicles, and pre-1915 Harley-Davidson motorcycles.

     “I make all the parts and manufacture John Deere magnetos. And I do repairs, rebuilds, and make parts for unavailable older parts,” Blank says.

     His rural Lititz, Penn., shop is stocked with thousands of magneto cores, and he knows how to work on older magnetos with coils in the armature.

     “I have a full line of machining equipment and can make parts in-house, so I don’t have to outsource. And all my rebuilds have new coils,” Blank says about his work.

     Except for aircraft versions, he works on all types of magnetos. Blank ships and receives magnetos from all over the U.S. Turnaround is usually within 6 weeks but can be longer during show season when he attends swap meets.

     Blank says to call and leave a message about what you need, and he’ll get back to you.
