We have spent the last few days visiting and catching up with our wonderful daughter that we have not seen in almost 2 years since our trip to Mississippi.
The new wiper motor for Ossumer arrived as scheduled on Wednesday afternoon from Portland Oregon. This morning although it was cloudy and looking like it might rain I decided that I would try to get it installed. First we had to make room to work so Ossumer had to loose his front door to the generator.
We got the door off and a tarp down to catch any bolts or such that we might drop and loose in the gravel. The step stool is for us to sit on with our back to the genny and then reach up inside to install the motor.
The pic above shows the new motor installed. This was only a 10 minute job and went really well just a little uncomfortable reaching up to get the 3 bolts installed that holds the motor on the bracket and one nut that holds the linkage to the motor.
While trying to source a supplier for this motor I found that this same make "Denso" supplied the motors for many different motor homes so if others ever have this problem this could be a good starting point , just Google Denso wiper motors.
We are here in Ashland till Monday when we head to North Carolina forsome more visiting with friends and relatives then it will be off to Georgia to meet more friends we may never get to Florida.

Nice work installing the wiper motor. The install site did look somewhat uncomfortable but ten minutes is not too bad. That done, you're ship shape to continue onwards in the days ahead. Enjoy the time with your daughter.
ReplyDeleteTake your time and enjoy the family...Florida isn't going anywhere!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it nice to have hubbys that are handy? Safe travels south!
ReplyDeleteGlad you are fixed and good for travel again.
ReplyDeleteWow! It was quite a feat installing that motor. Congrats Rick.
ReplyDeleteGotta have those wipers at times, and nice that you were able to get the repair done so easily. Enjoy time with your family too, while you are there.
ReplyDeleteTwo years is a long time to not see your daughter. You surely must be happy to catch up now.
ReplyDeleteOne of these days when you are in Ashland and we are in Charlottesville we must try to 'meet in the middle'. We left on the 6th and are still trying to find the warm by traveling south. :-) 34 last night in S.C. Glad you got the fix taken care of.
ReplyDeleteNow that you've replaced the wiper motor, you'll never drive in rain again... ;c)
ReplyDeleteSo glad you are having a visit with your daughter. I can't believe it has been 2 years since your last visit. Where does the time go?
