cougar766 Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 Morning everyone. Been tinkering with the LADY and debating on whether I want to install a horn being I do a few tractor drives with her now. my question is where is the horn mounted in the nose cone and the button on the dash. if anyone has a 66 with a horn and could share a picture or 2 I’d greatly appreciate it. Thanks Cougar aka David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EASY BOB Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 David, there should be a green wire up behind the upper grill for the horny thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captian Kirk Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 There was never a horn installed on my 434 from the factory, but I did find that it was already wired for a horn. Hope yours is also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IHC5488 Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 https://cngco.com/wiring_diagrams.html I didn't know the 66 series had an option for a horn. The dark green wire is shown on the schematics but doesn't go anywhere. Where would have the button been located? IH wired all the tractors the same, one set of harness for every series.

The owners manual shows it in the right hand dash panel with the key but in that location is my tattletale light for the tranny and it’s original.

I wander why the manual show on the right panel. Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brahamfireman Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 This is from my 806 book, the 56 series moved the fuse to the lower left trim panel and the tellight showed up where the 06 fuse holder is. I think everything stayed the same 56 to 66 series. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1480x3 Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 I learn something every day. Never knew of a horn button on a large frame 56 or 66, thought they were only on the "cap" of the tilt wheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drysleeves Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 Horn was an option. If the tractor had a tilt wheel it could be in the center cap but I bet it could be on the lower dash below the tachometer regardless of the steering system. They tended to be less reliable long term with the switch under the steering cap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My 856 & 1066 both have horns with steering cap switches, just have never seen a horn switch on a 56 or 66 any other way. Only seen the button on 06. As you mentioned reliability, neither of mine work anymore. 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drysleeves Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 I suspect it was added at the dealer level on more tractors than anyone might suspect. Cigar lighters fell into the same category. We have an 806 here that's been in the family since new and it had a plastic cap over the open lighter fixture from the factory. It has the metal lighter platform with no heating element. Factory horn button which is the same button as the one used on the 560 glow plug controller where you wear out your thumb to get 'er running.

nepoweshiekfarmalls Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 856 custom had the fuse holder for the lights up in the dash where the 06 series had it. But, the Custom was different in a lot of ways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
