What Are You Doing To/With Your Car Today?
Thank you for the kind words. I am extremely OCD about whatever i work on.
The reality was either pay over $400 for a restored one, or roll up my sleeves, get 2 of em at the junky and make one complete and working one out of both. Turned out bonus was i got both crusty things for free.
Since i didnt need a working motor right away, time was on my side. I had to buy a new nylon drive gear off ebay, and pay to have the cylinder cad plated, plus some other misc things like short stainless phillips screws for the pole shoes where they attach to the cylinder, and some brass sheet stock for the ground strap. I believe i am into it for just about $100.
Believe me, i didnt know anything about these wiper motors until i started taking this one apart. I think i know more about prestolite V speed wiper motors than i want to know now. Anders i have seen your attention to detail, i bet you would have no problem rebuilding one of these either.
Mr. 75slant6 i think any one of us here on fabo with basic electrical knowledge, mechanical knowledge, and mechanical common sense can redo one of these. Like anything out there including engine and transmission rebuilds everything has to be super clean before it goes together. Plus theres tons of info on the net. I used the net for my motor circuit testing as theres a certain way to hook everything up with the jumper wires.
