Horn or wimper? Replace it!

The "horn" on my 3510 isn't much of one. It works fine, but isn't very loud, and certainly doesn't do a diesel justice.

Sounds like one of those foreign car "neep-neeps" /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Problem is when you are running it and someone else is running another tractor. They can't hear you.

We use a lot of hand signals and such when working together, but if their back is to you, you have to get their attention.

I went to Advance Auto yesterday and bought a replacement horn. 2X loud, "Big Rig" sound. About $15.

The single horn mounting screw wouldn't quite fit in the old horn's hole, so I used the mounting strap that came with the new horn and attached it to one of the old horn's mounting bracket screws.

It's two wire, just like the old one- truly plug and play. This is one that ANYBODY can do, regardless of mechanical/electrical experience. /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

Did have to bend the mounting strap so the horn moved closer to the radiator because of the "pipe" that pretends to be a hood latching mechanism....

Man, that hood latch is a poorly designed component...takes 4 or 5 times to get it to latch. It's probably a good candidate for the next "upgrade."

A tractor that comes with a horn from the factory? /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
My tractor came with no horn. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

I added an OOOGAH horn. It is loud enough that my wife can hear it inside the house with the doors and windows closed. /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

Drinks are on the way soon after. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

If I remeber correctly I bought the Ooogah horn at Meijer Thrifty acres.
Here is a site that has one.

Ken,

I also saw them at Advance Auto. Since it was just a "gadget tweak" I went with the one that was about the same mounting style.

I really thought hard about the OOOGAH horns- thought it'd be pretty cool /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

Apparently it is, and it eliminates the need for a cooler /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
