Wiper motor

[Bonkie]

Does the wiper motor from any other classic cars fit a 59 Morris the Austin mini looks the same and are much cheap all help will be appreciated

Not necesarily, they look roughly the same, but the gearing and stroke length are sometimes different. Replace like for like. I believe very early minis are the same as "some Moggys", but recomend you acquire one you know is the same.

Are you sure your current one is shot. They are serviceable, and the brushes easy to get.

As above, there are many versions of the same basic motor/gearbox, with different gear sizes in the box. It's possible to change over parts to get the right gearing but it gets complicated and iffy. However, they seldom really, truly die. The gearbox lube gets so thick that they won't move -- and the brushes can indeed wear out. What's wrong with yours?

Was going two to three times then stops took motor out cleaned old grease out sprayed everything with wd40 put back in and nothing moves now when put back

Did you strip apart the "motor" proper, or just the gearbox? Did you check the condition of the brushes and armature? All the wires connected properly? It is indeed possible it's worn out -- but not likely.

A '59 will have the 100 degree gear wheel, and those are, as they say, rare as hen's teeth. Better if you find a motor and replace just the motor portion -- all replaceable, and, unless I'm very much mistaken, all the motors in this line have the same motor apparatus (armature, brushes, etc.) -- and keep the body and the gearbox stuff.

does the motor run if you remove the connection to the wiper mechanism rack in the car?

if so that points to a stiff wiper rack which can be pulled out and greased.
