The Ford Barn

Does anyone have photos or drawings of the Trico Wiper motor (263-3) and mounting hardware used in the 35 and 36 pickup/panel delivery. How does it mount in the header? Are there spacers along the wiper shaft...etc. I have a motor but none of the mounting hardware.

Thanks,
Don Rogers

Surprised that no one answered you on this one - especially the 35-36 Pickup Gurus. Do not have illustrations for mounting your wiper. But an August 1939 TRICO listing of parts for 35 Trucks lists their part numbers (no ref to Ford's numbers) for what TRICO called "Attachment Parts", which evidently does not include the parts which customarily were included with the wiper motor assembly when purchased from TRICO. TRICO lists an OUTER SPACER (which I have identified -hopefully correctly- as the GROMMET 40-17515 for the 33-Early 36 Closed Cars), a HOLDING NUT, and a GOVERNOR. These last two parts are also the same as the 33-36 Closed Cars. The Grommet and Nut assemble on the wiper motor shaft on the OUTSIDE of the windshield.
The INNER SPACER is not listed, which should have been one of the parts included with a new motor, and is the part needed to "adapt or fit" the correct motor to your header. Do not know what this inner spacer is. But the inner spacers for the closed models are made of diecast metal, are usually flat on one side and with a curve or is tapered on the other, and have an ID number (unknown) cast in them. Maybe the closed car inner spacer will work, but do not know for sure. I have several used ones of those if you need one. Also, no Leather Washer was listed in this TRICO List but your model may have used one to help "seat" the motor into the framework.
Hope this helps.

Lincoln, Thanks for the reply. I think that I now know what I am missing. Its part # 50-811224. Jerry Grayson photographed his wiper motor and components and shared them with me. I also found a sketch of the spacer at the bottom of some notes that I took during an Archives visit a few years back. Here's what I am missing.
