Tractor Horn for Farmall or IH

Big-Game · Dec 8, 2012

[b:fc291be3b5] [size=18:fc291be3b5][/size:fc291be3b5] Hello does anyone know where they originally put the tractor horn on a Farmall or IH 240, 340 or 460. If you have a tractor with one and could send a picture I would appreciate the help. Ron[/b:fc291be3b5]

I don't have one to take a picture. On the 240, it was mounted behind the upper section of the grill, essentially in front of the upper radiator tank. I suppose the others were the same.

i was wanting to mount 2 or 3 on mine but did not get to it yet. i thought to mount them behind upper grill as this seemed most sensible and is not visible. i would then adjust the tones and have 3 push buttons, one for each tone.

the horn on a 560 is mounted in front of the radiator behind the grill

Thank you, I will take a look today and see where the mounting holes are, and if the wire to the push button is long enough.

And the one horn sounded like a sick cow in heat and you could not hear it past thirty feet . And about as useful as the cigaret lighter to use while discing , often wondered just how many noses got burnt while tryen to use one of them ???

I found a horn still on a 560 last week and it was mounted dead center on either the

SUPPORT ASSEMBLY, hood grille housing

Product No: 369257R11

or the radiator baffle. 5/16" x 5/8" long hex-head bolt at the end of the L-bracket. I tried to peek in the 340 for a hole, but can't get a view with enough light to say for sure. My F460 is off the property.

The boneyard put it on a battery charger and after several attempts, it came to life a little and started to sound like a sick cow as 'the tractor vet' stated.

For $10 I took it and hope with making it moo more, it will come to life. Sitting out in the elements for ?? years with no cover...maybe?? I couldn't even remember if I had a tractor with a horn button at the time, but hated not to spend some $$ after driving hours. Also, I did find one, what I call shoulder bolt - 369 866 R1 needed to finish of the fastener list for my F460; which has a good horn.

Hhmmm, forgot about a leveling screw handle 523 861 R1. Oh well, another road trip, another cafe, more coffee and pie, another good bar burger. Ahhh, this parts scrounging is fun!!

Dad had one on his 460, but don't know where it was mounted... it certainly didn't sound like a sick cow, it was almost train engine loud! My 240U doesn't have one.
