Replacement early wiper motor (1 Viewer)

[Sharp38]

Got these motors from Speedway motors. Part number 91123502 in stainless. They come in black as well. Price about $50 each for stainless. Absolute bolt in for the early windshield frame. I haven't wired yet, but believe the wiring will be the same as the OEM units.

I'm thinkin I like the OEM set up better, but those are a good alternative.

I run those on my 32 Ford, they work great!

Let us know about the wiring, great find and good info to know, thanks

With OEM's being harder to find, this looks like a great solution to having working wipers on an older cruiser

they are a great alternative

cool....anything beats the oem....a little too bulky, limits any chance of a full cage.

too bad they dont make a vac operated version...i think that one or two 25 guys were looking for them

I have a pair of those that Jim Sickles from Downey gave me years ago. The only thing that stopped me from trying them out is that the terminals are on the opposite side of the motor from stock, and I couldn't bring myself to cut and splice the wiring.

Of course, if you're wiring from scratch, there's no issue there.

Wired the motors this morning. They work fine. One drawback is that they park on the driver's side. The wipers do come with arms and blades. You might have to heat and bend the arm for the wiper to sit up tight against the rubber gasket.

The wiring works like a later FJ40 wiring. You have a constant 12v at the motor and you operate the wiper with a ground coming from the switch. I used the original switch in this unit. It's basically a SPST switch. It has one input and two outputs that come on at the same time. They aren't really labeled. The input is a bit offset from the other two. One terminal (output) has allowance for two wires. I used the original windshield harness without any problems (other than scooting it up a bit to reach the terminals on the other side). I have attached the wiring diagram that worked here.

That is very encouraging news Don. I may have to take those things off the shelf and have another look at them. Thank you.

Here they are with the wiper arms/blades supplied with the motors. They are in the "park' position in this photo. They work pretty well with the stock switch. The only issue I really saw is that the drain hole in the wiper motor cover is up. I think the covers can be reversed so the drain hole is down.

can you just flip the motors around to make them park on the other side ?
