Electric wiper motors?

[halftrack]

I notice just about all the new M series vehicles have electric type wiper motors instead of air. Has anyone converted or found a military looking electric replacement for their deuce windshield wiper motors? Pictures of s setup would be great if someone has already done the conversion.

They have been arround for a long time. Look in the back of the 361-24P for the M35A2..

Also check ebay seller Green Gem Army Surplus. He had a complete set in his store for quite a while.

I have seen the electric version mounted on a M109A3 I noticed at Chambersburg, Pa. a while back. I worked really well, but to me it looked a little out of place. The main body including the motor and controller were mounted in between the two windows from about halfway up to the roof. There were linkages that transmitted the power out to the wipers much like most vehicles. All the linkages and some of the motor was covered with ill fitted black plastic covers.

I am almost positive NickD has the electric wiper conversion in his Deuce, perhaps he will chime in. Builder77's description is spot on (from what I remember).

This is the version I would like to see if anyone has a pic.

You and me both. I had taking a picture of that setup on my list of things to do on that trip, but never got to it.

I would like to see a pic too, I have 2 motors that are KIA's. Don't know whether for the duece or M715. Would like to find out.
