28 electric wiper switch

[MrWzrd]

What was used for a switch for the windshield wipers on a 28 Briggs?

I have one wire to ground and two wire dangling where a switch should be but no switch.

The switch is inside the motor. The control knob opens and closed the switch. Just a basic cam style switch. Rod

Ruh Roh Shaggy.... I must not have the right wiper motor.

Mine has no switch. External mount, two wires come inside, one to ground, the other to a non-existent switch.

I guess while I research what should be there I'll just fashion a bracket a put a switch in.

OK... I'm coming up empty...

Let me start with a simple question.

Is the Original wiper on a 28 Briggs an electric or vacuum?

If electric, which everything seems to point to, is the unit mounted inside our outside the car?

Electric, outside.

Per the Judging Standards probably a Owens-Dyneto Corp. OD-C1A or B.

Good diagrams on page 20-3 of the JS.

PS. I did the same thing on mine. Mounted a tiny switch under the dash as I got a good deal on one without an integral switch but looks correct to the untrained eye...still on the lookout for an original tho...

The closed car wiper for 1928 was electric. Most were Owen-Dyneto OD-C1B's. If you look in section 20 of the Judging Standards there is a drawing and a chart to show when each one was used. The 28 wiper motor is alittle hard to find, but they are out there. Rod

Here is a link on a completed listing. This one is the OD-C1A as it has a script. Rod

MrWzrd,
My car has its wiper motor in a bag. The base was broken. I finally called Berts and they had an untested one which I purchased. I am in the priocess of tryint to repair it, The motor works but I neeed some parts. Mine is an OD-C1B for my Oct 2, 1928 Leatherback. Gve Berts a call. Maybe they have another one. Also Model A Wipers sells completely rebuilt units for $395 each. I have been tryung to gat a few parts from them but they have not been respopnsive. Perhaps they will respond if you buy a complete unit.
Good luck,
Supergnat

Rainex works wonders and is a heck of a lot cheaper. The original wiper is only good for looks.
