Early ford bronco wiper might also be one for you to look at.

I think the little Cushman trucks we have at work have a similar wiper, too, if I'm not mistaken.

Got everything home tonight. Although the paint is dry, it is still a little soft. It took two trips with the wife's ride to get it all home. It looks better then I had hoped for. Still not perfect by any means but definitely allot nicer then it was.

I was so exited to get some of it together I knocked the headlights of my bench and broke them both. I will have to pick some new ones up tomorrow.

Well here are some pics.

the best I have been able to identify them is that they were for a Gilson. There are no makers mark on them. I got them about 25 years ago with a very old, Green Bolens.

My grandpa bought a early 70s Gilson made Montgomery wards new with deck weights, chains and plow. It was the first thing I ever drove in '85 I think? I was about 5. He let me drive it up and down his driveway. I still have the tractor buts its rough and its on my to do list....... But the weights look the same to me.:D

Had about an hour this after noon , before the honey to dew list happened. I put the new headlights and grills on. I had to do some adjusting to get the hood and side panels to sit rite. The fender and tunnel cover are on too. The bottom cab mount is just on with the battery box bolts, I still need to drill the mount holes in the fender. Oh yea , can't forget the hub caps. I also got the front plow mount on.

I also had the glass place in town reinstall the front window and put a piece of lexan in the rear today.

Well Since I finished the honey do list, I was allowed to get back to the cab today for a while.
Got quite a bit done. I still need to put the rear bagger plate on, but I need wait to for my new lights to get here first. I need all the room I can get to fit my fat hands in there to do the wiring.
I wound up being 4 bolts short on getting the front supports mounted. I have been using stainless on anything exposed. Probably get some more tomorrow.
I was kinda worried that my 'made' rear bottom mount was not going to be sturdy enough at first. As I started getting all the bolts tightened it stiffened rite up. Now when you push on the cab it rocks the whole tractor.

I found a couple wiper motors at this place. They are about half way down the page. I just need to work out what Angle of sweep that will work the best for me. If anyone knows were to get these in the U.S, please let me know. I am kinda shy on ordering from the U.K. because of shipping time.

These pictures were taken with my phone, some of them look all crooked but it's just the picture.
