Bought a set of horns (high/low) today for my 2720.I still need to buy a button and install all parts, I think there is plenty of room under hood as might need to fab a bracket. also I don't seem to put the parking brake on tight especialy when on flater ground and forget it is on and start to move so thinking also of a beeper of some sort ??? any thoughts on beeper because steering wheel hides parking brake light from my sight.

I added a horn to me 4110 a few years ago...I used it more than I thought I would when working with other to get their attention. I don't even have a brake light on my machine, or a 4WD light but those are on the "to do" list sometime in the future.

Ordered relay will take about a week to receive. Went to radioshack and purchased a momentary button (red)

My JD650 did not have a 4WD light either, I think the 4WD lights are for Girls!:lol:

I like your idea and give us the details as you go. Might have to add this to my list.

Changed my mind on relay since horns only are 3 amp so I got a golf cart horn button and installed it I think it's rated 10 or 14 amp.
But I'm having a problem with finding the female connectors that go into the bottom of the fuse box (since I have extra spaces thought it would look more factory) any help would be great, dealer cant't seem to find but said he would look into.

Nice job!

Nice jo. I really like that horn button. I started looking for one for mine but all the buttons were larger than I wanted. I'll have to look into a golf cart horn button!

Very clean instillation. :good2: I would cover the horn's openings with a womans nylon stocking to keep trash from getting inside the horns.

Glad you went with a more heavy duty switch! Looks good, tnx for the pix.

Can you update your profile so we know what part of the country you're in? Don't plan to drop by for dinner but knowing that helps people answer any future questions you have.
