Windshield Wiper Motors

[Loose Deuce]

I guess thy are called motors? Can you get kits to rebuild them? One of my end gaskets is blowing out, well almost, just leaks a little now. Will that air tool oil deterate the rubber in the motors?

i got new o rings from checker auto parts and slamed some axle grease in there and bam! working wipers. now do you mean one of the end gaskets is leaking? if so it might be better just to find used/new ones.

I fixed an end gasket once by cutting a piece from an old bicycle inner tube.
New motors run about $35.

Question: can anyone provide the "facts" on converting M35A2 air wiper motors to electric. Part number(s) etc.. Advice...The air motors are more trouble than their worth.

Heard some stuff about a mumve conversion part????

thanks

There are conversion kits for air to electric are out there but are not common.

Advice...The air motors are more trouble than their worth.

A matter of opinion of course, but I like the ability to regulate the speed of the air motors.
Sorry I don't have a link, but there are 24-volt electric wiper motors available for marine/boat applications. I have one around here somewhere, but can't remember the manufacturer's name offhand.

Thank you for reply. My air wipers are unaceptable.Can you give me ANY details on electric conversion?A truck sidelined in rain is crippled!Thanks

There are electric wipers for the deuce. The A3 has/had them. They are not cheap though. As for replacement ones, they are out there. Stay away from the Chinese ones, they fail very fast. Best bet is to find a junk yard and pull some off of a vehicle there. There are a few metal ones floating around, again, not cheap. You also need to excersize them every few weeks and shoot lube to 'em. MMO works great.

Talk about an old thread, I didn't think the new site would pull things off the old one

TNJ Murray lists the kits. Big $$$$.

Are the metal ones available from Clark Truck Parts Chinese manufacture?

Integrated Parts Systems - Wiper Motor, Metal

That is by far the cheapest price I have seen for the metal wiper motors. I've got two plastic ones that do absolutely nothing when air is put to them. I don't think they are worth my time.

MasterChief,
I took the easy route and searched ebay to get a selection of brands.
These two links are similar to what mine looks like. Be sure to check your shaft diameter and length(there could be a bad joke here, but I will leave it for someone else) before ordering any motor.

Just to clarify, the first two links I gave are for a single wiper(not tandem), two motors required for one truck.

I've got two plastic ones that do absolutely nothing when air is put to them. I don't think they are worth my time.

I bought 2 new plastic motors and had the same trouble. I even dis-assembled one looking for a fault. During the ad-hock diagnostics, I learned that a shot of full pressure shop air kicked one into operation! I did the same to the other one and was in business.

I guess the limited pressure of the truck (90psi delivered through a throttle valve) won't break the piston free.
