Can anyone help with posting pictures of a 1933 or 1934 roadster or phaeton wiper motor? Thanks

The middle and bottom pics are Model A's because the vacuum port is on the opposite side.Only the top is a correct '33-34 roadster/phaeton.

Times two and even then, there were different shaft lengths in that upper and lower castings configuration.

Can anyone identify this one? I had a gentleman tell me that this is what it should look like and he also had an original windshield frame with the exact same one bolted to it at the Turlock Swapmeet. I have never seen one with the shaft sticking out of the back cover like this. Is that for a manual lever possibly?

That's a pre-'32 wiper motor and likely not for Fords. The initial version of the '32 phaeton/roadster wiper motor had a rear cover retained with two screws like that in your photos, but it did not have the extended shaft protruding through the cover (which is missing a little handle that was attached to permit manually wiping the windshield). You could take one of the wiper motors like that in your photos, cut off the back of the shaft to clear the inside of the back cover, fill the hole in the back cover or find a regular '32 cover with the two small holes for the screws, and voila, you'd have an initial version '32 phaeton/roadster wiper motor (assuming that the blade end of the shaft was neither too long or too short).

But, what you are seeking is the '33-'34 version which is the same as the second version of the '32 wiper motor. That motor has a snap-on cover like the three wiper motors in petehoovie's photos above.

Thank you David for the detailed explanation.
