For whatever reason, I see no info on my 1930 vacuum windshield wipers in the Andrews books or in the original Ford manual for the car. Where can I find pictures, diagrams, or videos on the wipers? I'm about an hour from John Holland (I see several references to him re wiper rebuilds) so I may have to give him a ring. Any info will be appreciated.

JOHN Holland, Rebuilt my vacuum wiper motor. All A OK. I did also, find the once replaced vac. hose was pinched pretty much shut closed. I installed a new replacement hose-wow, what a tough job.....
I'M TYPING ONE HANDED, SLOW -just had rotater shoulder cuff rebuilt, A M today.

There is away to oil the wiper motor. Disconnect hose at wiper motor,use apiece of
vacuum hose and suck up light wt oil by manually operating wiper arm. Just might help wiper motor! Rain X works better than the wipers IMO
