1982 2-speed 110deg Wiper motor uber-geek required!

[YMJ]

OK, I am trying ro re-engineer a two speed motor to make it the best-wiper-motor-in-the-world, etc and need to know something about the main gear and it's shaft.....there are two bushes on the shaft that run in the actual gearbox housing - one (the lower one) is free to rotate on the shaft and the other, well.....doesn't.
I've had it soaking diesel for a month and it still will not budge. Or is it not supposed to rotate on the shaft anyway?????
Cheers

there are no bushes on the gear when you buy a new one

so I guess they should both rotate

Rich, I'll email you a photo to show you exactly what I mean. Sorry, cannot work photostream, etc yet

No, I won't. You're right, they're seperate! Cheers

Like to see if you could make them work better

I've always thought alot of the issue with the is the wiper boxes causing drag

what about a defender wiper motor? they work well and it look like its uses all the same parts

[YMJ]

Defender? As in Land Rover? Have you got a part number?
I've just completely stripped de-corroded, lubricated, re-brushed and rebuilt my motor, wired it up and it looks and sounds as laboured as ever, especially at low speed. The wires get hot too!

Yeah land rover defender and I don't unfortally but a quick ebay sure you'll find one
