8560 Horn??

Mobass · Jun 4, 2012

I notice that the stearing wheel has a horn logo on it and a fuse in the engine compartment for a horn. But when I push on the stearing wheel it does nothing. Also when the motor is turned off I can move the stearing wheel with out moving the tires. Should it do that??? The reason I was wondering is when I was driving on the main road the stearing wheel is not lined up with the big hole to see the gauges, it was 1/4 turn off. Thanks

The horn should work, there is a problem with it somewhere. As for the steering, the steering is 100% hydraulic, so the operation you are talking about is normal.

Galen, is the horn now std? It was an option with the 20 series.

Brian,
You are right about, and maybe I should double check on that for the 8560.

My 6520 came with a horn. Don't remember paying for a horn option. Over 600 hours and it works when it wants to.

When I got my 7520 and it did not have a horn or locking gas cap, I was told that those items were options. I guess they may not have been, but it got me off of the dealers back and I don't have either of those items. My tractor is one of the very first 7520s and it looks like they just left that stuff off when going down the assembly line. :confused3:
