John,
I would be careful - that could be part of Bigdog's Cub Locator system, disguised as an old part. :idea:

If it's a factory horn it's not like one I've ever seen.
The factory ones look like big sea shells and mount up by the steering box... I have one somewhere over in my parents shed that came from my grandfather.

If I remember correctly, the "big sea shell" type of horn was the same as the older Delco Remy horns I saw on a lot of older Chevy's etc. from way back. I remember seeing them on a lot of the 6V GM products back in the late 1960's.

Looks to me like someone finally discovered the use of the unknow two holes in the floor pan!!!!
This is one of the original 6 volt horns that was found on :eBay: including the horn button and mounting bracket.
Thanks to Tim Martin
Thanks to Tim Martin
I was browsing on :eBay: one day and found 2 6 volt horns from a Pontiac .. they are now sitting in my Pole Barn awaiting a little cleaning, testing and mounting to Ellie and Granny. Course I need to make the bracket and I need to buy a pair of push button style horn buttons with the mounting brackets for the steering post.
And we even have a copy of how to make the bracket :!:
Thanks TJ !
As Jim mentioned, AC Delco was the source for IH Horns - as can be noted by the 313 above which transposes to 9000313 I would think based on the parts info in this thread Cub Horns on ebay. I should recheck the model number on my pair.
As Tim's pics indicate the model ending in 313 is 6v. Searching on :eBay: doesn't return any hits for AC Delco 6 volt, AC Delco 9000313, AC Delco 9000513 nor AC Delco 9000239 at the moment but they are on occasionally.

I thought the two holes were for sighting the row when cultivating.
While I was out in the barn looking for the Hydraulic Reservoir for my Henderson.... I dug out the 6 volt horns I got a few years ago.
Nice 6 volt horns and they will do the job until I can find correct ones I guess... but apparently the ones I have are not exactly AC Delco .. :?
The one on the left is a model H
The one on the right is a model L
Figured out they were Delco-Remy models after I had seen this one on :eBay: - Vintage Delco Remy - Auto Lite Model HW Car/Truck Horns. I guess we just need to figure out if AC Delco and Delco-Remy are essentially the same part or if there is a big difference between the horns. Sure hope they are interchangeable.

Looks like one is left-handed and the other is right-handed. :shock: :lol:

One is high tone other a low tone look at the amount of " curl" before the bell end
The "L" and "H" are low note and high note. As far as I know, the tractors all use a low note horn by itself.
I see that now.. kinda makes sense. Still cannot find a part # though. Took the circuitry cover off and there were no part numbers to be seen inside either.
I do not understand the differences between Delco-Remy and AC Delco. Both owned by GM .. seems to be different divisions now, not sure what they were to each other in the 40's, 50's to 90's. I would think that AC Delco or Delco-Remy would be interchangeable....
