Open car chrome plated trico wiper motor
 

Can someone help me identify these two chrome wiper motors? I think they are for an early 1930s Ford open model car. They are identical in photo but one has broken off mounting ears. Thanks..........40larry

30-31 Model A

Yep!

Thanks for your reply. A friend just checked and told me they are identical to the one on his 1934 Roadster. Can that be true?

The one for your friend's roadster would have the vacuum line on the opposite side of those in your photo. When mounted on the windshield frame, the body of the wiper motor on a Model is down with the vacuum line connection on the left side. The '32-'34 phaeton/roadster wiper motor also has its vacuum line on the left side, but when attached to the windshield frame the body of the wiper motor is up, not down.

As David says,the vacuum port is on the other side for the 33-34 roadster/phaeton.

Thanks for all the details. I will get him to take a second look. He may have the wrong one on his car.

Hey Gang, while we're at it . . . anybody happen to have a 1934 Roadster wiper motor . . . and in dire need! Drop me a PM if you have such a beast and are willing to part with it. Thanks!

Not mine

As noted above on Ebay- Ron Monte is the go to guy for these hard to find (rare?) NOS wipers. Interesting guy, knows lots of stuff. I got my 32 wiper from him.

Re: Open car chrome plated trico wiper motor
 

Are 32,33,and 34 roadster wiper motors all the same? If not, can someone post the differences? Thanks

Re: Open car chrome plated trico wiper motor
 

The '32's have 2 tiny screws that secure the rear cover to the case.The 33-34 snap on and that cover is about 1/2 the thickness.I have some spare rear covers in both styles if anyone needs one.

Re: Open car chrome plated trico wiper motor
 

Hey Gang . . . anybody know if Roy Monte is still in business and how to contact him? Also, has anybody worked with rebuilds from Rob Ficken (as I see him on eBay quite a bit).

I have a really nice 35-36 chrome heart-shaped wiper motor (with the speed control) - want to see if I can work a deal with somebody to get a late 32 - 34 chromes open car unit with an adjustable speed control.

Thanks!

Thanks DL!

Late '32 wiper motors had snap on covers like the '33-'34s. The change took place concurrent with the change in wiper blades and wiper arms (in how they attached to one another).

Re: Open car chrome plated trico wiper motor
 

SO.....The Late 32-34 snap on covers are "1/2" the thickness OF????? The Model A's posted above OR "1/2" the thickness of the 32 style with the two screws??? OR 1/2 of BOTH

Re: Open car chrome plated trico wiper motor
 

The two above, while for Model As, are post-late '32 service replacements as the originals has screwed on covers.
