41 Dodge Business Coupe located near Leipzig Joe

I try to imagine how brake fluid would splatter over the paint if the vehicle had an underfloor brake cylinder. All the images that come to mind are comic-style. Sorry, that's probably because of my vivid imagination. Joe

i’ll try to go that way. I missplaced my PHD in rocket sience but my NYC taxi driver permit is still valid. So what can go wrong? Thank you for the motivation to do it by myself! Joe

It starts immediately after switching on. So I think I hear this vibrator inside the radio working. Also the hum comes out of the Speaker so maybe the Capacitors are toast too. Will look for the replacement parts and start rebuilding it. Thank you!

Oh, im so sorry. I didn't saw its a link..... 😅 Will read it tonight. THANK YOU !!!!!

anyone please can provide a wiring schematics for that specific 41 Dodge Radio? The Tag has gone, I have no idea about the Brand or Model Number of these Radio. The only thing I know for sure it is the original radio belongs to our D19 Thank you Joe

Gentlemen, The original tube radio in our Dodge 41 still works. With an AM transmitter you can listen to Sinatra and Louis Armstrong very well. Unfortunately, the device hums immediately after switching on and it becomes very audible when the tubes are warm. As a comparison, it sounds like a transformer humming. What could this be and how can you fix it? Does a tube have a short in the heating? Thank you Joe

You are right. these 12" are a little too long but they are work. Perfect would be 11". Joe

Hi Tom, i checked the wipers. I use to own 12“ Anco‘s. Since i couldn’t scource shafts with better splines i got the problem solved with tiny cone brass sleves i made. Everything works now like new and will hopefully last for these 10 times i need to use the whipers next 50 years… ? Thank you!‘ Joe

Gentlemen, are these the correct wiper arms for a 41 dodge? If I tighten the wipers tightly, the wiper arm presses on the chrome part and the motor no longer turns? It's as if the chrome part is too high, the axle inside is too short or the wiper arm is wrong? Thank you Joe

I fit it rebuild. Thank you again for your schematics. Joe

After 2 Days in the Garage everything works again as it should. The limit switch had no contact just like the wiper switch. The circuit breaker was also out of contact. Then I cleanrd the collector on the rotor clean and cleaned the slots between the contacts. The brushes were made common and the tread cleaned. Everything was thoroughly cleaned in gasoline, re-greased and it's a miracle, the engine works like new again! Even the removal was relatively easy if you removed the glove compartment and the radio first. Many thanks to everyone for the various useful tips! Joe

Great. Thank you?! The Characters on your schematics help me a lot. Do you know where to get new brushes? Thank you again Joe

Hello, Does anyone know anything about DC motors (windshield wipers)? I have the following problem with the 41 Dodge. This has probably been going on for a long time, because there are a few indications that point to it: The engine wasn't running. No matter where I connected power. It is a two-speed wiper. So I dismantled the motor, cleaned it, reworked and cleared the collector, dismantled the limit switch, repaired it and rewired everything. The first problem is that the motor appears to have been thrown together from its predecessor, because the play in the rotor is below zero tolerance, which means that when I tighten the long screws on the bottom where the brushes are and go through the winding housing, the rotor is tight. But that is solvable. The motor turns again when I apply 6V to the case and brown wire (Foro) On red it turns very slowly but without any torque. If I now connect the cables to the switch like I removed the wiring , nothing happens. This was probably wrong before. What confuses me is that the field winding has two inputs. I can't explain this strange block with the two connections either. Could be a resistance but I couldn't measure anything? Unfortunately the circuit diagram doesn't provide any information either. Can anybody help me with this? Thank you Joe

Rich, that wold be great. The Motor is out of the car now, would be good to replace these pivots. Thank you so much Joe

Anyone knows where i can buy these „pins“, „shafts“ with the splines. mine are toast. 1941 D19 Dodge thank you Joe

Hammer the motor for an hour. no success

yes. 6V is on there. the going pins on the switch have 5-6V too. zero noise. nothing is moving

Gentlemen, the electric wiper motor in our 41 Dodge Business Coupe is not working. Since the Shop Manual shows a vacuum motor i think it’s a replacement. But it looks very correct so maybe a interchange from a later model? It reads auto lite 6V EWD-4001. I fear to remove it i have to disassemble the whole dash? Maybe it’s a common problem and easy fix? Can someone show me the right direction please? Thank you Joe
