trico wper motor #
-
Can anyone tell me the trico vacuum wiper motor number for a stepdown. I tried the search feature here because I know there has been lots of discussion on this forum about these units, but it can't seem to find any matches for me.
Surely there's still a few of these NOS still around somewhere? I bought one new one off a Guy on ebay awhile back, but need another for my conv. resto.
Anyone know a source for these?

You really need a NOS one? Rebuilt isn't sufficient?

I've used these guys with good results in the past. Everything gets dismantled and cleaned and looks brand new when it comes back.

I suspect that if you found a NOS wiper motor, the internal soft parts will have deteriorated so it will need reconditioning anyway. -
The following are motor numbers from Trico Equipment and Serice Specs.
I have the parts break down sheets for all stepdowns 1948-1954 and for 1953-54 Jet. These sheets also include Installation instructions.
These numbers are for the wiper motor itself.
And, no, before you ask, I have no idea what the differences are between units.
1948-1949 - CSM-4-1
1950 - CSM-4-3
1951 - CHM-11-1
1952-1953 - CPM-11-1
1954 - CPM-11-23

Bob is giving very sound advise here. F.W.S. does a great job,no need to look for a NOS part. Send yours in,usually takes a couple of weeks. -

Yeah -- I suppose you're right Jon, a rebuild would be a lot "fresher" than a 50 year old shelf queen.
I just kinda like to take a part off, replace it with another right away, and get on with life, rather than leaving the car sitting broke down, so to speak, waiting sometimes weeks for parts to be rebuilt and returned.
Maybe I'll scrounge a couple old ones, send them in for repair, and swap them out when they get back. That'll keep me mobile while I wait.
Fikken'll be the one to get the work.
Thanks all for the advice Guys -- you've never let me down.

Just be glad it isn't an Anco motor, no one rebuilds Anco's so I had to take mine apart, figure out how it was supposed to work and rebuild it myself. In the end it was a very basic job that had me intimidated way beyond the actual difficulty level. The biggest job was cleaning out the old grease and repacking the flapper valve. I put it back together and it worked like a champ. My biggest concern was not damaging any gaskets as I didn't want to have to cut new gaskets.
