Added a Horn !!

[Mrwurm]

My neighbor and I are in constant competition over tools, tractors, gadgets and such. He currently has the 'big tractor' bragging rights. He has a NH 1920 and I have a NH TC30. Well, I really caught him off-guard today. I added an automotive type horn to my tractor and gave him a loud 'toot' as I passed by. He was 'green with envy'. He called me on the phone an hour later to tell me that he can't let it stand and that he is going to put a louder horn on his. I may have to add a compressor for air horns when this all works itself out.

So, while he's hooking up his horn, put alternate flashing headlights and a siren on yours. That way you get the right of way on beverage runs.

If you want to limit the armament race to horns, get one of those that plays music.

Jerry,

Now, you'll have to add a "small" P.A. system... then drive by... depress the microphone and announce... Howdy Neighbor...! /w3tcompact/icons/grin.gif

<A target="_blank" HREF=http://www.awdirect.com>AW Direct</A> has some really neat strobe lights you can install in your existing headlights, too. You've probably seen them on police and ambulance vehicles.

Can you imagine the look on his face when you meet on the road and hit THAT switch? /w3tcompact/icons/shocked.gif

The best thing is, most people don't know how they work inside regular headlights or where to get them. /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif/w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

Yep, I was 'toot'n' my horn again this morning and I stopped to talk to my neighbor and his wife. His wife asked him if he had a horn on his tractor. It nearly brought a tear to my eye when he had to tell her he did'nt have one. She did'nt say a word. I can only imagine her disappointment. Maybe I've gone too far /w3tcompact/icons/hmm.gif /w3tcompact/icons/tongue.gif

Ok, at least it was good until he reminded her that he has a backhoe and I don't /w3tcompact/icons/frown.gif

OK, better late than never. Here's a picture of the waterproof button for the horn. It's the black button on the blue panel. The lower button is the pull switch for the lights.

Here's a shot of the mounting location I chose for the horn.

Here's a closer look.
