Just got my old grungy wiper motor back from Restoration Services in Midlothian Illinois. Had sent the motor along with some parts from a second parts motor. Beautiful job!

Here's what was written on the bill;

Dissasemble, clean and inspect core - the trans
main shaft & cap was worn out (used other parts)
Solenoid points were burned. On the pumps, one
cover was good, one piston housing was good,
one base plate was bent - assembled the best of
all parts. Restore housing, replate all parts originally
plated, rewire motor, shim trans, replace pump parts,
replace gaskets and seals. Assemble, test run (ok)
adjust and lubricate as needed.


Sure, I could have bought a replacement motor, but it wouldn't have looked at all original. I like the look of the factory motor, and the price wasn't outrageous to do this. Steve at Restoration Services was great over the phone. He has no website and no email, says he's the biggest wiper motor restoration house in N America that nobody knows about! He does work for all the big US restoration parts houses, but will take a single motor sent directly to him. Sent the motor back restored with the amount owing! How many people or shops today will do the work without cash in hand? 3 week turnaround. I highly reccomend him.

Funny thing, he called me to tell me my original tag on the motor decoded to a 69' Corvette. He'd never done a 69' Parisienne before. Did Canada use corvette coded motors, or was this motor replaced at one time? He says he'd like me to send any information confirming this.

The Tag reads;

    5044712
  133  9   2B

Can anyone read their original tag on a, lets say, 68-70 Big CP?
If so let me know what you have and I'll relay it to Steve?



Cheers, Mark
