[@tadstutsmansr.8200]

Do you offer services? I have one identical to this. A hutchins that was my dads but doesn't ahooga. It just spins

[@vintagemachineworks]

@@tadstutsmansr.8200 Sorry I have too many projects of my own. you can try adjusting the screw in the center of the baffle plate.

Beautiful job. I bought one of those back in early 1973, Pep Boys, @ $18. Still got it. Many laughs, it’s mounted on my 2013 Tacoma.

[@TrishAnne4468]

I so remember these with a louder sound. I guess they had different sounds. Great job

[@vintagemachineworks]

Quite a few different types over the years. Thanks for watching

Fantastic job. I love the hooga horn. Some day I will get myself one.

Thanks for watching

[@Duff20]

That looks like a hutchins ooga horn and it was an accessory for vehicles they were made back in the 40s, 50s i believe, but they are a perfect replica from the original but you did an amazing job restoring it 👍

[@vintagemachineworks]

Thank you for the info

[@shilohchristianchurch1807]

do you know if it was for 6volt or 12 volts?

[@charlespitts5901]

I just finished restoring one of these and I have one suggestion, when you paint the mounting bracket, you will need to run a ground wire because the mounting bracket is the main ground to this one wire horn. Painting it causes a potentially bad ground issue.

[@churlepatakha]

Well done dear!

[@vintagemachineworks]

Thank you

[@howzatrestorations1538]

Brilliant job VMW, you have an amazing skill set mate!
It actually sounds the same as my message ringtone on my phone which was a bit confusing, lol.
Looks absolutely amazing! 👍👍👍

[@vintagemachineworks]

Thanks again!

[@sharonmcclennon7172]

Great Video

Thanks for watching

[@KDoyle4]

I recognize that model, with the thin chrome and blue motor cover. I bought one, brand new, in an auto parts store in the early 1980s.

[@vintagemachineworks]

You could be correct I don;t believe this one was too old

[@devildog4808]

Nice Work

[@vintagemachineworks]

Thanks

[@RESTORATIONOFSCRAPMETAL]

cool job👍

[@vintagemachineworks]

Thank you

I have this exact horn from my 1967 Ford Falcon van. It wasn’t working so I took it apart and it looks like water was sitting inside and it all crusty. Going to try and clean it and free it up. The case and horn part are soaking in vinegar right now to clean the surface rust. What did you put the parts in after sandblasting them? Good video! Thanks!

[@vintagemachineworks]

The parts where put into Evaporust, This step can be skipped if there is no imbedded rust. Thanks for watching.

[@peepingtom9148]

I like your color chose on this.

[@vintagemachineworks]

Thanks for watching

[@jordanmpaul]

I have one of these that I'm trying to get back working... is there a specific adjustment for the screw in the resonator plate? Also the washer has separated from the gear on mine. Looks like it's just a press fit, nothing too serious I don't think.

[@vintagemachineworks]

I don't think the exact position of the adjustment screw in the resonator is too critical. Thanks for watching

[@davethomas2671]

great job but it would really help me if you explained a few things as you go. manufacturer of super blue or where to get it, settings of screw on blurd plate and what things are and thrir purpose is.

[@edtolman3119]

This was never on a New Model T Ford. I believe it's a Hutchins horn sold by J.C. Whitney and many others in the 1950s and later. When painted black, they're a dead ringer for the Sparton Model A horns.

[@shilohchristianchurch1807]

I have the same model horn and I'm trying to figure out if it is 6 volt or 12 volt. Is your test with 12 volts?

[@vintagemachineworks]

Yes this one is 12 volt, Some of the really old ones are 6 volt

[@jsimm4587]

You should have tuned it . The adjustment is down the horn throat . Newer ones don’t have the sound of a model A type why ?

[@frankmoyer5822]

Question: can I hook this horn up to 12 volt with ground and a momentary switch to positive.
Or should I use a relay on the grounded side?
Or is it 6 Volt?

[@vintagemachineworks]

This one is 12 volt but 6 volt ones where made. Either wiring method you mentioned should work

[@frankmoyer5822]

@@vintagemachineworks Thanks, I put the relay in just to be safe.

[@isneakyfellow1993]

Hey I have the same horn that I bought here recently and I can't figure out how to get it to work, when I opened it up there was this brown goo on the back of it

[@Catcher5632]

I have the EXACT same one. It makes such a weak sound, you barely hear it all all and the slight noise turns on and off

[@BrianGallop-oz7qf]

Do you sell them and what price are they

[@СергейСергей-ю3г2х]

Why like?
You completely disassembled it and didn't even show how it works.
Although you had the opportunity...
