fireman5214 4 Posted September 16, 2012 Report Share Posted September 16, 2012 I have looked at flea markets and yard/garage sales with no luck, checked ebay and 14.00+ for used ones. I know monsterguts.com has them brand new but was just thinking if anyone had any other place to look online. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BigDPS 20 Posted September 16, 2012 Report Share Posted September 16, 2012 Do you have any junkyards near by? I found one near my home and the best motors I have seen were made by FORD. They seem to run well in both ways whereas some motor only like to go one way. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I like monsterguts wiper motors. ok thanks Scot, do you have to gear them down or anything? Would a 12 Volt DC train transformer be enough to power them? I am guessing if it goes too fast on 12v i can use the throttle control to slow it up? I am in the experimenting mode. I did like your rocking chair Mrs. Clause, I was not sure who made it but I remembered seeing it and I thought "wow pretty good idea". Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Scot Meyers Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 No the Monsterguts motors are tough. I use a 9vdcwall wart to bring down the speed and it works great. now im not saying to go from 12vdc to 6 vdc. remember the less voltage supplied the hotter the moter gets to work. i only stepped down 4vdc. and Like i said works great. this will be my 4th year with mrs clause in the santa scene. and i have been very Impressed. I am looking at Monster gut motors to power my ice skating pond discs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Joel 0 Posted September 22, 2012 Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 Check the price for getting them from the junkyard. If they charge for the labor, it might be pricey unless you find one where you take it off. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BigDPS 20 Posted September 22, 2012 Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 I was able to get 1 motor, 2 glass headlights to put HID lighting on my lawn tractor (I know, big overkill) and I got it all for 15$. I had to take the motor off myself. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
metalfab 0 Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 I worked at a junk yard, and we didn't charge labor to pull a wiper motor, it would already be pulled, and ready to sell, I'd ask about a warranty, why buy something and save a buck, and if it does quits they won't replace, my 2 cents, for a few dollars more, I'd buy new.
