    I've had personal experience with what Alan posted up, and it's quality (why it's not cheap) stuff.

    It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

    Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

    Good deal, There were several brands with different sites I had found, but I had not seen this one. The dual motor looks like what was org in the IH but someone got them before I bought the truck. I saw that I had wires running to each hole where a motor should have been, and with the slight bend in the windshild made me think that having a solid linkage would not work at all. So the independ motors will be great! Thanks for the help!

    I had a '47 KB2 International and after 9 years of driving my truck and using different brands dual wipers in it, I would not ever use independent dual wipers again!!! Use the set up that RestoRod posted, you'll like it alot better!

    Thanks Evolvo! I hadn't seen this one either. I like that they give you an option for intermittent!

    As HWORREL suggested checkout New Port Engineering. They are kind of pricy but hookup to existing wiper fixtures. I bought one for my 41 that I haven't installed yet. Since my firewall is not stock I have to modify the wiper bracket. But the motor looks heavy duty. They have a ton of info online to checkout. I was going to use one of those universal kits that use cables but read some bad PooPoo about those type of setups being unreliable. If you do decide to go with the cable type, be sure to get you a good tube bending and flaring tool for the install. Take care. -robert
