Hi Preacherboy,

are you using the air-motors?
I have had terrible luck with them.
They may work for you now...... when you "jump-start " them.
BUT will they work when you NEED them? Will they "ground" your truck when weather is at it's worst?
I snowplow in Maine and I can't afford to be held hostage to air -motor tempermental nature!!!!!! In my opinion - they are worthless! I absoloutly HATE them!
I am still looking for an electric option that will not break the bank!

suggestions anyone?? Please

something like this rigged with an arm to each side should do the trick

Exact same thing happened to me. Found the wiper, but now am missing the #21 adapter and flat shim for the blade. Can't remember if the adapter/shim came with the arm or the blade, if anybody can help me....

Any thoughts on these?

Street Rod Windshield wiper motor kit, complete. - eBay (item 110175697556 end time Jan-11-11 20:06:38 PST)

same basic setup ODIron has - but od has it in 24volt

I tried using a single motor to run both wipers but it didn't have enough juice. works fine for a single wiper.

I bought a 12v-40v pulse width modulator to vary the speed of the motor without reducing its torque. can get them on ebay for 20$
I also rewired the motor to remove the cheap mechanical switch on the housing and replace it with a good wiper switch in a different location.

I'm thinking about getting two 12 volt motors. One seller I talked to (there are many) can get me two kits shipped for about 95 dollars. I've seen 6 volt versions but not 24 volt. I'll be fine with the 12 volts and a toggle switch though.

With the arms and blades? I'll have to check it out. Though I'm guessing from recent other posts that I can get the 12 volts from eBay a lot faster.

12 or 24 volts don't matter to me. I have 9 open spots on the 12 volt fusebox I'm installing this morning.

Thats good to hear. Christmas Eve I took the truck out to play in our snow and ice storm. The stock deuce wipers aren't very good, and when you need them they are a lot worse.

Not sure what the problems are with buying this wiper upgrade. Go to O`Reilly`s. NAPA is usually my first choice but O`Reilly`s has stepped up even with filters for the duece. Nice to see where you are going.

just called my local Napa, and they said the Anco PN doesnt bring up anything..
O'reillys said theyd have to order them. I asked how long would that take, she replied, "well, I cant order them, because Id have to have a minimum order of a hundred." I politely told her I didnt need em that bad to go an an order 100 of em.

Amazon still has both Anco 41-01 arms and Anco 31-13 blades still availible..
Amazon here I come!
