older (1960's) tractor flashers

INCase · Jan 25, 2022

Looking at getting the lights and flasher going on the IH 444 we bought from my wifes Grandparents auction.

I know i need a new light switch and some bulbs and some wires fixed. One thing i need to fix is the amber flasher light. i have a new lens for it (should have bought the whole assembly for a few $ more.. oh well) and have not figured out how or where the flasher unit is for it. Did they have a flasher unit like the older cars had and where might it be? or is there a special flasher bulb that makes them flash? Can not tell from the parts catalog as they aren't very clear and not blown up enough.

THanks.

If all else fails, follow the wires and you should be able to find the flasher connections.

Click on the link to the parts book below. In the picture, Item Key Number 6 is 394132R91 flasher. With a bit of digging it appears to be a common two prong #552 automotive flasher. You didn't say if it was gas or diesel but both use the same flasher. HTH

thanks unfortunatly one of the wires i need to fix/replace is the one going into the flasher. the connector to the flasher is there but the wire going to the flasher connector is shreaded and that goes into the harness at the rear of the left fender that also goes to the rear work light.

That shouldn't be a problem. Some parts stores have replacement flasher connections. A few part numbers are: NAPA Echlin # ECH EC429, O'Reilly # S957, Dorman # 84734, and there are several on eBay. A less expensive and quicker fix is to just use a single, insulated, crimp-on, .250" female spade wire terminal, on each wire.
