560 hose clamps and a horn question

Damon K. · Feb 26, 2012

Iam asking more questions about farmall 560's as Im restoring one and want it to be as correct as possible.
Would the old style Wittek Tower hose clamps be original for 1959 560? or what style did they have?
Also the horn on a 560 gas.....some had one and a button in the dash, and some of the dashes didnt even have the hole for one.
Was a horn a option? or in some years the didnt offer one?
Thanks again for all your replies!!

The Whittek clamps are correct if you can find them. If you're trying to get them off of another vehicle, do not loosen them by tapping on the screw. Use a piece of tubing that fits over the screw head, so the impact is directly on the clamp. Otherwise, all you do is break the little clips that hold the nut in place. The clamp is still usable, but the screw will not stand up by itself when you try to tighten it.
