thanks for the link bfagan, i just may send it there,
is there no way i can get the soft parts to rebuild it myself ?

All the major suppliers seem to have discontinued
the repair kit, you might see if Wiperman
Will sell just the parts .

i found an electric wiper setup for my 52F1 and am glad i did. the old vacuum wipers just don't do the job around my neck of the woods.

I had Ficken do my 2 for my 1937, I think it was about $100. each, great job and fast service well worth it.

as always, thanks for the replies guys,
id kinda like to put a electric motor in it, and may if the vacuum one wont keep up.

wish I could find an electric 6 volt 2 speed direct fit for my 51 Mer., but I don't think that critter exists.

I installed a mighty wiper, easy install & fit for overhead wiper motors, 6v is available too!

Send it to Kent Jaquith 2633 S.W. Obsidian Ave. #15, Redmond, Oregon. Ph# 541-923-4319. Kent has been in the wiper business for years. He rebuilt the one for my 41 pickup and it works just as good as an electric wiper.
