I plan on gettig a cheap radio and mounting it in the tool box I have on the back. I was thinking about using a PA instead of speakers cause I have some laying around and they are water proof. I have one on my truck that plays music and it sounds good and is really loud

nice, someone should put a train horn on theirs

lol I'm putting my air horns on my new car. I want to put an Awooga horn on my tractor

just use headphones

Headphones could work but what if your mower is loud the headphone wouldt be loud enogh to hear.

They make noise cancelling headphones. I used to mow with the Ariens and listen to my iPod and heard fine with a $10 pair of Skullcandy earbuds.

Oh ok i didt know they made those type of headphones.

I like the broadcast my music. I like loud systems and especially PA's to annoy everyone with my music. Everyone love me in my town

i would rather keep an ipod or sometin in my pocket with head phones than go through the process of buildin a stereo on my tractor lol ita much easier

I like that idea with PVC pipe, RUn a pipe up the side, and latch it to the side with a removable cap on one side, and glue a set of headphone (the wire, not the speaker part), so water cant get inside. Good luck XD

Yeah we put 6 3in speakers and a 6 in sub in the hood on the ranch king with. A 50w kenwood radio.. it was just all stuffwe had layin around

hello, something on my mind lately is putting a radio on my tractor. ive got a car radio, speakers, and im working on getting an antenna for it. but theres one flaw. I don't have the wiring harness for the radio. I too the cover off of the radio to see if the circuit board had any markings on it to see if maybe I could solder wires to it. long behold, there was no markings. so, I either need a new harness/connector, or a different radio.  I kind of want to use this radio because I know exactly where to put it and how I want it. and I don't have the money to buy a new radio either. so that's my dilemma. any help? 

what is the brand/model of the radio?
I may be able to locate a pin out for the rear connector from these

Not waterproof so dont get it wet.

Your better off trying get a free one. I get them all the time. Just make sure oeople know you want radios and they will get them when they come across them. The wireing plug is critical. Most of the time you connect the yellow ans red wire to the positive and run the black to a negative with a toggle switch. Proper way is to put the switch in the yellow wire as this is your activate wire to turn the radio on.

ive had the tractor for a year now and ive only left itin the rain twice, and that was a surprise thing. the weatherhere is really weird. it was 80* Saturday, it was 40* today.

Its not just that, its puddles, washing, etc. Id suggest a marine-grade radio off a boat or something.

im not that worried bout puddles, ive got front fenders. ill do a youtube video of it. washing is one thing, but im planning on doing a nice duck tape cover on it. I can removethe front, and then just avoid it with the pressure washer.
