55 President Coupe- Stock 6 volt. The rest of my defroster unit is good. Studebaker West doesn't have one, and S.I. wants to sell the whole unit rather than just a motor ($150.) I have a request in to Bob Helm too.
I tried repairing mine. Works a while and then the ball bushing at the top begins to bind. I think the unit is tired and needs a proper burial. Even though the days are hot, and I don't need a defroster for several months, I have the dash disassembled for my re-wire job. This is sure the right time to replace that Motor.
I found several old forum postings on this subject, but none are recent. Any parts numbers of a correct unit that might be cross referenced at parts suppliers like Graingers, O'Reilly's, etc. in the event that Bob doesn't have one? Used OK, or sources for New? Any information appreciated.
