ruff1148kr Posted October 23, 2015 Report Posted October 23, 2015 Started looking at wiper arms and blades was looking for an adjustable arm that works with the 1/2" drum style mount on my truck the truck has fittings that were for vacuum style even though the motor was converted to electric (Newport Engineering) was looking at ANCO 41-02 because it was adjustable and being that I had to rotate the motor and the Park postition might be 180 out and the fact that I have a visor I thought It might be a good Idea to have some way to adjust the wipe area. Also anyone have an opinion on blades looking into 11" anyone have one they perfer for our flat windshields thanks Quote
ruff1148kr Posted October 23, 2015 Author Report Posted October 23, 2015 anyone using Roberts T92 arm which blade did you use? Quote
ruff1148kr Posted October 30, 2015 Author Report Posted October 30, 2015 well since I got no takers on advice I went with anco 41-02 adjustable from 10 inch to 13.6 1/2 drum fit and anco 31-11 11" blade arms were silver and blades were black so just painted arms black lock nice with the center park position on a 48... whole outfit was 30.00 not bad at all not hitting anything either....

Merle Coggins Posted October 31, 2015 Report Posted October 31, 2015 I believe your wipers should park to the outside. I know that's how mine are. Merle Quote

No matter where they are in the cycle when you turn them off. They return to the bottom of the winsheld. Is this correct? Dutch I believe this came up a while back, and the consensus was that 48-50 wipers park at the center bar and 51-53 park at the bottom.Merle Well Just came out that way using electric motor with vacuume parts LOL hey just followed your earlier POST Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted October 31, 2015 Report Posted October 31, 2015 the book I have here shows no center bar parking of any truck and I call these books a picture book more than anything else...it shows flat on the bottom for most all the light trucks and the larger/commercial trucks had the wipers parked with the wiper tip point to the A-posts..this could be as controversial as the wiper knob orientation on a P15 Quote
Merle Coggins Posted October 31, 2015 Report Posted October 31, 2015 That post was from nearly 9 years ago. I'm older and wiser now. LOL!! Take a scroll through these threads and you'll see most B1 and B2 series trucks with the wipers parked to the outside, and most B3 and B4 trucks with the wipers parked down along the bottom. http://p15-d24.com/topic/53-lets-see-pic-of-your-trucks/ http://p15-d24.com/topic/53-lets-see-pic-of-your-trucks/ Quote
ruff1148kr Posted October 31, 2015 Author Report Posted October 31, 2015 I just got older LOL the wiser part missed me.... As far as the pic's go did a google search of images and saw some of each but agree the books must show to the outside.. well it is what it is for now 1 Quote
MBF Posted October 31, 2015 Report Posted October 31, 2015 I think it matters what type of motor that you have. If I recall, you can change the parking position on the vacuum motor transmission by switching the actuating arms side positions (switching top to bottom). I don't think that can be done with the electric setup on the earlier cab style because there are two separate actuating arms. I may be wrong on this. It was a long time ago when I replaced my vacuum motor. My 49 2.5 ton is a firetruck that I've never had apart, and they park in the center like my 1 ton. Mke Quote
