Trico Vacuum Wiper Seals Needed

Post by dispatcher1011 »

Hey All,

Where can I get some Trico Vacuum Wiper Seals for our trucks, stock? I looked at a few of the normal spots, without success. Thoughts?

Some of the felt parts and the top seal are the main items I am after. Also, what does everyone use for lubrication inside these things?

Specific - 1954 M37.

Thanks!

Dispatcher,

Not sure I understand what you're looking for. Are you looking for the wiper motor rebuild kits.......or just a few specific parts from a kit?

regards,
bob

Looking primarily for the gaskets in the top, between the two parts of the main housing. Is there a good source for rebuild kits? I wouldn't be opposed to any kit with internal parts available.

Thank you. I had no idea M38 and M37 wiper motors were the same. At my last attempt, I accidentally bought a pair of nos complete motors that fit a M715. Luckily, I have one of those too.

Check out this guy: http://www.wiperman.com/

I sent the wipers from my M38A1 to him. He fixed my wiper motors right up. Alan
