Beemon Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 (edited) For sale is a 1955 date coded electric windshield wiper motor. I have personally gone through this motor and removed all the old grease and re-lubricated the motor. The lead wire is blue instead of brown, since the original wire was broken off at the base of the armature cover and blue is all I had (brown wasn't available at the counter). The lead wire also does not have a connection on it and the wire is very long so it can be wired anywhere with switched 12V (reaches from wiper mount to the battery as it currently is). The riveted ground wire is also broken off, but the motor grounds through the feet anyways (that's where the ground wire hooked to). Both speeds work and so does the self park feature. The plastic control arm is also broken but has been glued back together and has been holding together during bench tests. Replacements are $7. I was originally going to put this on my 56 Buick, but it was too trouble some to adapt. I want $225 firm from 98031. Professionally restored wiper motors range from $275 to $350 online, so I think this is fair. The cost will cover a Newport kit for my Buick. Willing to work on price. Video of motor working.
