There are a few ways that I can think of real quick.

the cheapest way? buy a small air tank (1/2-2 galon)on-line or from a 4x4 shop, hose to run to the horns, a few bolts to mount the tank, probably to the frame. Some wire and a switch/button from NAPA or who ever. tire type valve to put on the tank.

Then tap into a hot wire, connect to the air horns. On your tank put a tire type air fitting and just fill your tank off of your air compressor or even a bicycle pump as needed.

The other way is to add a compressor to the above, some of these draw lots of power and it is one more thing to mount.

Out of curiosity? you want air horns as a "help" calling system perhaps. Or just because they sound cool.

I checked out the site, looked at item number 548651. Comes with compressor and all. 126db ought to plenty loud for Rat to hear. Should be easy to put anywhere with all the tubing included.

Been thinking a air horn on my truck might be neat or even beter on my little car.

Oh sorry Deerecollector, it was a lousy attempt at humor. I thought you might followup with a reason for installing them be it just for kicks or an unusual need for them. I myself have yet to have a need for a horn on my tractor but that certainly doesn't mean the need isn't there.

No special reason to have them on the tractor Rat. I just want to add them to make my JD4400 a bit more personalized and unique. I am sure if I could terrorize the neighbors geese or stop the chickens egg production if I actually used them too often. Still trying to think of a place to mount them thou. I don't really want to drill any new holes in the tractor. Anybody have thoughts about a good mounting place?
