Thanks for sharing. Mine is an electric motor wiper (1930 Town Sedan). The problem with mine is that the motor is mounted inside the windshield and the drive shaft goes through the notch in the windshield header where your on/off control is located. This means that when the windshield is opened, the motor also swings down and is slightly in my vision. The vacuum motor mounted on the outside looks like a better option.
Just checking out your video. This is bob and suzie from the model a club
Hey y’all! Thanks for watching! Can’t wait to see you guys again!
Nice video. I didn't realize that was such a process on the A. I can remember rebuilding those wiper motors on the 40's and 50's cars in my dad's gas station and garage.
Just subbed to the channel, I’m sorting out my 31 Model A, 400A. Watching all the Model A videos that I can, Paul Shinn has been great on educating me. Ken from Kentucky, one more item that needs attention on the A. Working on the front end and brakes at the moment.
Thanks Ken couldn’t agree more. My front end needs everything so maybe a video in future Lords willing
I did not know that the wiper motor was fitted on the outside, I have Trico vacuum wiper motors on two of my cars (Swallows - aka the first Jaguar cars) and they are both mounted on the inside! Mine are the smaller version of yours and Made in England rather than Made in USA, a simple motor that works, however, they operate best at idle, under acceleration the vacuum is less and the wiper slows or stops, lift your foot off the throttle and it will flick over the screen - quirky! I love how they self-park no matter where the wiper is when it is turned off.
Greetings from the UK!
Thanks Austin yes they are quirky aren’t they? In my model A club over here I think I have the only one that works out of over 50 club members so I am very thankful! On your two wipers, what year were the cars made in? Are they later or same time period?
I will tackle this project next winter. Blessings from Williamsburg Iowa
Sounds great! You can do it!
Thank you for this informative step by step video. I truly enjoyed it.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!
I received my writing desk. Its fantastic! Absolutely beautiful!! Can you give me some information on it? Who made it or where its from. I'd like to keep that info with the desk so when I pass it on they know a little about it. I'll be using it very soon since I've got all my supplies now! Thank you again! Austin, TX USA
Excellent!! We don’t make them but get them from a family in PA. Thanks for writing
@@pumpkintown Thanks
Can you talk more about your wood fountain pen, I have the same one but I don’t know how to use it haha
I have videos on beginning to write with a quill pen, but not a fountain pen
fantastic video!! thank you for showing the details.
Thank you for watching!
Was there a rubber bushing between the wiper motor and the windshield frame?
I think so. Will check later Lords willing
Great video. It blesses me to hear you Praise the Lord God Almighty.
It is a blessing to meet a fellow believer. Have we met? Thx for comment
@@pumpkintown not in person. I came across your channel and I liked it, so i subscribed. You are welcome
I was thinking the same thing when I came across David's channel. He also puts a Bible verse on the box and note he sends with merchandise. Such a lovely touch. I'm going to save them in my new writing desk!!
@@barbaracabrera207 Please write me an 18th century style letter sometime and I will write you one back , the Lord willing! Do you write 18th century or just love writing in general?
@pumpkintown I never knew it was a "thing" till I saw your channel. But now I have all supplies you sent me so I can try & practice. Like your video explains. I just started learning ink drawing. Doing trees first. It's harder than it looks. But I'm doing fairly decent so far. I want to eventually try it with quill dip pen. I put a letter to you on my TO DO LIST! I think 18th century letter writing is so cool. I thought your laid paper was priced per ONE SHEET. That's why I bought 3! LOL. So I was happy to see I got a pack instead. I want to do 18th century writing to put in my handmade journals. I love to learn new cool things. Thank you for introducing me to this wonderful art. I loved your videos on grave stone history. I want to get your book at some point. I sure want to read it! And the book on letter writing too. The writing desk was not on my budget. But I didn't want to miss out on having one.
nice
Thanks brother
Are you going to purchase a upholstery kit for this car?
I hope so Lords willing
SO there is not a clamp to go on the vacuum house where the hose is attached to the wiper motor?
Maybe there should be. I was not sold one from my parts supplier. It doesn’t seem to need one though I could be wrong
I@@pumpkintownI was just curious.
Where did you have your wiper motor rebuilt ?
From John Holland in Ohio but he isn’t taking on orders anymore unfortunately.
When my engine is running and no throttle, does vacuum wiper work? I cannot get mine to work sadly
Do you think you may have a vacuum leak? They are sporadic at times
@@pumpkintown they are just not working at all :/
May I suggest immersing your new wiper blade in Protectant 303 to soften the rubber and protect the blade from drying out in our sun UV and heat. It works wonders preserving all wiper blades and similar materials for many years. Think of it like how Rainex works on glass except it works on rubber. Blessings from St Marys, GA 🙏
Great idea! Where do you get yours? Thx
I don’t know where large quantities were bought for our industrial use but Amazon has consumer size spray containers. I have only used the marine protectant in the past and would never be without it. I would buy new windshield wipers for the cars and find them dry and hard in a year. Now, I buy wipers after three years after soaking them in 303 before use. I pour the liquid in the plastic shell the wipers are packaged in and let them soak for a few hours. I pour the liquid back in the container and reuse it for all my other plastic and rubber parts. Wipe the parts down and install with peace of mind. Our chemical engineers swore by the stuff and saved the company lots of replacement costs.
