Updating my 51 and can not bring myself to spending hundreds on wiper motor kit. Currently have 2 wiper motors and work off of 2 different switches.
Anyone have ideas or donor vehicle to get an assembly from to simplify this?

 

If your patient and lucky, you can find the stock Bosch electronic motor setup. That is what I run in my trucks. Just be sure to clean and grease the gearboxes.

 

I went thru several iterations of stock electric and aftermarket setups. With the stock pivots, you can only get a full sweep by using the factory electric setup. Ultimately I went with the Dennis C. replacement, with their pivots, and it is excellent. Not cheap, but it works when you need it. Their pivots are greatly improved, too. See the thread here about them: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...d-1950-f1.html
I tried a kit from New Port Engineering that provides just a new (12v) motor for 51-52's, and it was a complete failure and waste of a couple hundred bucks.

 

Is this the one you used?

I have the Newport and don't like it; the sweep is just a tad too much for the OEM arms, so I had to disconnect the passenger wiper arm for it to work. Told Newport about it but they are positive that their motor is correct. So I want to replace it.

 

This kit is out of stock, unfortunately. Is this the one you used, or was it the one in my last post?

 

The reason the New Port retrofit kit doesn't work is due to the geometry of the arms on the pivots. Their motor tries to pull at an angle that causes distress. I talked to them at length and got nowhere.

I believe the one I have is the second one. The first one looks a lot like the New Port retrofit system.
