JD 50x5 E Series - Where is the PTO/seat alarm horn located?

[CobyRupert]

Anyone know where the actual alarm horn is located?
I primarily operate a 3 pth winch which one engages with a rope while standing at the back of the tractor. Which means the 100dB horn goes off every time I turn on the PTO. I don't understand the horn as a safety feature. I know the PTO is on, because 1) I turned it on! 2) There's a dashboard light saying so. and 3) I can see the shaft spinning!
(Why didn't they put a "4WD engaged" light on the dashboard instead?)

Anyways, the tone and loudness of the horn makes it difficult to find. Anybody know where located? Maybe under the dash or seat?

If you don't get any help finding the horn, you might try putting in some earplugs and some over the ear protectors on. Your ears go into compression with the loud horn, and you cant locate anything, but if you can cut it down 30 or 40 db. you might have a chance of locating it better.

Thanks! That seems like a good idea & makes sense.

It is part number RE264574, look at the link provided to see what it looks like. On my 5210, if you remove the panel that the key switch is on you should be able to reach it, if not the left cowl will need to be removed to get to it.
