[AT] Rear wiper kit for my Boomer

[Dick Day]

Well... those are the "universal kits" I saw and it sure looked like they 
would work, but none of the on-line stores would suggest one.

The back wall of the cab is just sheet metal with an opening cut for the 
glass with a rubber grommet to hold it in place. Is the CJ-5 similar?

The jeep kits are complete and sell for under $60.

Thanks

Dick,
    You might check out some of the aftermarket stuff for Jeeps.  I bought
(several years ago) a replacement 12 volt wiper assembly complete with arm
and blade for a CJ-5.

I have a Curtis metal cab installed on my New Holland Boomer. I would like
to install a rear wiper kit. The glass is flat and has several inches of
sheet metal surrounding it, so mounting a wiper should be easy.  Curtis no
longer sells cabs for New Holland and does not stock the wiper kits for
them.

I have searched for "universal wiper kit" and see dozens of 12-volt models
available.  All of the ones I've seen so far are OEM for specific vehicles
and are ordered with varying shaft lengths.  So far, no vendors have been
willing to hazard a guess as to which ones would work for a tractor cab.

Does anyone on the list have any experience with installing one?
Suggestions?

Thanks!


Dick Day
