    Hello,
    has someone changed the vacuum wiper motor to an electric wiper motor?
    I htink surely. I have done it today evening. And i have the following problem: The motor is fixed at the place, where the vacuum motor has been placed, the transmission linkage is fixed, but the right transmission linkage seems a small bit to long to fix in the hole in the cab. Could it be of the wrong position of the part where the linkage will be connected to the motor or do I need new transmission linkage?

    Hi Wolfgang
    I know when I replaced my wiper motor, I didn't have any problems. (Other than having to contort into positions I'd rather not have...)
    Maybe the arms are on the wrong sides?

    Make shure the linkage to the bezel is hanging down, not pointing up. This could cause the wiper to work backwards.

    Electric Wipers

    Use an old 6 volt VW Kafer wiper motor , they fit easily and work great .
