This is a Trico made vacuum wiper motor designed a long time ago to power the wipers on my 1949 Mercury M47 pickup truck .The truck had dual factory wipers, engine supplied the vacuum via a rubber hose to a fitting by the carburetor . Worked best at idle speed when vacuum was highest some had a additional source from the fuel pump to assist . Cheers Mike

About 8 days ago to keep busy I picked up the chassis of a 1946 Gibson Model A tractor without a engine, I was fortunate to find the correct Wisconsin Model AEH 6 hp nearby and in good shape. After flushing transmission and differential the motor mounted up easy and at least now it is mobile and work continues .Thanks for watching Cheers Mike
