I decided to add a 12 volt "oogah" claxton horn to my Farmall "A" tractor since it has limited use around the house and has that large hole where the hydraulics are on the Super A. I bought the unit at Harbor Freight on sale for $10.99, so yes It's a cheap one.
I bolted it up to the tractor and decided to wire it to the battery to test it out and see what it sounded like. I used standard 16 awg wire and when it sounded, it seemed as if it was "overpowered" and spinning too fast and loud. There was less "Ooo-gah" and more like "O-gah". I plan on wiring straight up from the light switch as a power source and to a push button to activate it.
What can I do to "slow" it down and keep the horn motor from spinning so darn fast. It says for 12 volt use only and my tractor has a 12 volt conversion. It just doesn't sound right when I tested it on the battery.
