Toying around with fixing up a B61T I acquired for snowplowing work next season, was thinking of converting the air wipers to electric just due to being able to have more speeds. I went with a friend today to look at a truck in NY and the seller had a B model fire truck with top mounted wipers that used American Bosch individual electric wiper motors. Curious to get feedback from anyone whos used them or converted to electric?

i have gone thru my motor a few time and STILL have to reach my hand out the window sometimes and move the wiper to get them to start wiping and not be froze in one position. good thing i dont run in the rain much. electric conversion might be the way to go

Early CJ JEEP or Marine application for a cabin cruiser type boat looks about the same.

I read a while back on here a guy had a B firetruck that he built to pull a gooseneck racecar trailer. He had a 1996 IH school buss as a donor vehicle. One of the things he did was use the electric wiper motor from the buss in the mack. He put the electric motor in place of the air motor.
