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

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. |

Re: Open car chrome plated trico wiper motor
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
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! |

Re: Open car chrome plated trico wiper motor
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
The two above, while for Model As, are post-late '32 service replacements as the originals has screwed on covers.
