1970 FJ40 wiper motor and assembly

[BellyoftheBeast]

I just purchased a 1970 FJ40. It has top mounted, hand-moveable wipers. There is a loose wire dangling, but no wiper motor or any hardware to attach to the wipers. I have looked at parts dealers and went through a lot of threads in this forum. It looks like these motors and assemblies are hard to come by. Is it easier to get rid of my top-mounted wipers and try to install bottom ones with a new motor and assembly than to find a old style top-mounted motor and assembly?

Did you search the mud classifieds? I searched that forum for 'wiper motor' and found several right off the bat - here's one that recently sold for $50 plus shipping: SOLD - 1968-1974 Wiper Motor & Link Assembly

Thanks. I have looked at other places and found a couple for unreasonable prices. I haven't look on these classifieds much yet, mostly because I can't figure out how to search easily. I'll keep looking for it. At least it sounds like there may be some out there that might not break my bank.

Thanks. I actually ended up using the tag from the sold one you sent. Nothing new for a while, but I found a couple that sold for cheaper than I saw on eBay. I’ll keep checking
