Wiper motor part number question

[BobT-47P15]

Do any of you convertible guys have a part number for the windshield wiper motor.....as the one

for convertibles (and I think, wagons) is different from all the rest of the models...?

 

And/or -- what is the number for a sedan/coupe motor?

 

Is the number found stamped into the motor, or is it printed on the housing some place?

 

I have a n.o.s. motor that has some numbers printed on it, but don't know what they 

indicate....if they indeed are the part number.  

 

An antique parts dealership in Texas says they use the Trico number, but I haven't been

able to get that number from them.  I know they at least had some convertible units because

I talked to the owner a few years ago.  But he isn't at the shop as much lately due to some

health issues and therefore I wasn't able to speak with him.  

 

My motor is working pretty well right now, but thought I might try to acquire a spare "just in

case" it's ever needed.  

 

I think son in law put some neatsfoot oil into my motor to rejuvenate the leather piece....and

that probably helped it some.  

 

Thanks in advance for any info.

Bob the parts book sure opens a can of worms on this one. There is a large list of body numbers that use 872400 and after those numbers use 1232590. Convertibles use 903694 up to body # 3878 detroit and 1124 Los Angeles. After those #s use 1233700. The early # does go back to the 41-42 models.

Thanks a bunch Rich.  The motor I have says "SK 51-5" on it.  

 

So that would be sedan, etc.......not convert.  

 

The good news is I don't really NEED a motor presently, but can now be on

the lookout for a spare.    

 

Ed and Don......thanks for your input as well.

I can trace wiper motors for trico upto 1949 via the AEA motors catalog that I have so if anyone else has any questions and want to verify I can look it up for you.

 

Bob, good luck on finding a spare glad the information was of value to you.
