My 1935 Model 48 Deluxe restoration is at last in its final stages. I have a Trico vacuum wiper motor that looks good... but is not working. I am sure it needs a rebuild by someone who knows Trico.

Looking for suggested path forward to restore or replace the vacuum wiper motor. My Trico Vacuum Motor has speed control too.

So, if anyone has a working one for sale... good... else thoughts on restoring.
 
You are welcome.I have been using them since the mid 1990's.Kent I believe has passed but his daughter has carried on .

First: The Early Ford V8 club sells a 1935/1936 Restoration guide book, IF you are concerned about "correctness"?? IT is a must have!!! and well worth buying


Second: You can also post pictures of what you do have here on the Barn and there will be plenty of help/advice as to what you have.


Third: IF you are not a member of the Early Ford V8 Club of America, I would also suggest joining the club...Lost of good information gets published in the V8-Times magazine the club produces Bi-Monthly. You can get it either on-line OR get a mailed copy when you join. Well worth your time and effort to join!!!!!

I had Ficken Wiper Service rebuild my '51's motor about 20 years ago. The rebuild was very well done that still works great.

He has done a few for me as well. One in particular was rough. However, being a rare motor, he worked extra at it. You'd think it was electric when he got done.
 
Another vote for Clean Sweep. Mellissa Klein is the granddaughter of and well trained by Kent Jaquith, who was the Trico wizard and I believe was a Charter Member of the EFV8CA.
 
Another vote for Melissa Klein who did the TRICO on my '36 pickup; excellent work, reasonable price and fast turnaround. She didn't even charge extra for the fact that I mucked around with it before I sent it to her.
