As well as the cost of the Magnetron there is the annoyance of ruining the originality of a 36 year old mower. However, if the alternative is fitting a bush to the crankcase, including buying both bush and reamer, and having to dismantle the engine to do the job, I'd go with the Magnetron, once the leakage has become a problem.
