Put electric wiper motor in the 52 1/2 ton this summer. Plenty of winter to test them. So far? They work. Better than any vacuum I have ever had. Two speed is nice, parking is nice. Can any one explain why the passenger side wipes so much farther than the driver side? Not just a little bit, that would only annoy me. But, hey! Passenger side sweeps from cowl to the outside of the windshield. Nice! The driver side? Not so good. From cowl to straight up. That ain't gonna get it. Stock original wiper linkage. No clicking, noise or rubbing that I can tell. The length of the "crank"? is the same as the link arm on the vacuum motor so no change in lever. So, what is up with this thing? Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
What brand is the wiper motor and where did you buy it so I can avoid this problem when I get ready to order one. Sounds like a bad design. Having said that, all things mechanical can be modified to work. I would guess that modifying the length of the crank arm on the motor would solve the problem. I would try lengthening it first.
