The Multiquip 1297010150 Magneto Assembly MTR 55 is a genuine OEM ignition component designed for the MTR55 trench rammer. Sourced directly from Multiquip, this assembly meets the exact specifications required for consistent ignition performance on the MTR55. If your trench rammer is failing to start, misfiring, or losing power under load, a worn or failed magneto is a common culprit — and this is the correct OEM replacement to restore it to full operation. Confirm your model code against the MTR55 before ordering to ensure a direct match.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Ignition Specification — Manufactured to Multiquip's exact output and timing tolerances for the MTR55 magneto, ensuring the correct spark energy reaches the engine at the right moment.
- Direct-Mount Replacement — Engineered to install in the same position and mounting configuration as the original assembly, with no reworking of brackets or wiring.
- MTR55 Compatibility — Purpose-built for the Multiquip MTR55 trench rammer; verify your model code prior to purchase.
- Restored Starting and Power Performance — A correctly functioning magneto delivers consistent spark timing, allowing the engine to start reliably and maintain steady power output through compaction cycles.
- Ignition System Integrity — Using the correct OEM magneto assembly prevents misfires and timing irregularities that can stress engine components or cause erratic machine behavior during operation.
The magneto assembly is the self-contained ignition unit responsible for generating the electrical pulse that fires the engine's spark plug — without relying on a battery or external power source. On a trench rammer like the MTR55, consistent magneto output is essential for reliable cold starts and steady engine performance during repetitive compaction work. When the magneto degrades, symptoms typically include hard starting, intermittent misfires, or a complete loss of spark, all of which halt productivity on the trench line.
