Re: 73 travco
Are you talking about the wiper motor shaft?

Re: 73 travco
A photo of the offending piece or part would be helpful.\nTo still use the unit, switch wiper motor assemblies.\nThey are both the same. Install repaired unit in passenger side.

Re: 73 travco
Hhhhmm... "in the old days"...When I used to attatch gas tanks to "chopper" style MC's ..to bolt the peanut tank to the frame I used a high silver alloy hi-strength brazing rod... You could pick up the bike w/motor in the frame by the one brazed bolt. This stuff flows like your a professional brazer/welder and extreme heat like steel rod gas welding/brazing with a coat hanger is not requred. If you have the broke end, I would try it unless it is of some none brazeable material...especially if the motor itself is in good stead. "looking for a budget way out or alternative".FWIW,\nBBB\nPS: Studying the photo I see a "link/arm" like it is driven the same as the other side from one central located motor... Wiper Model changes thru the years???. Wiper motors might be year/model specific?\nMy wipers are (1976) & (1974) with two individual seperate motors. Both the same and can be used on either side. If you do locate a unit it might not work for your model. I have two seperate wiper switches on the dash... Is yours like a car with one variable speed switch ? NFO line needs to be fixed.\nBBB

Re: 73 travco
Really don't think I have any room to braze the end back on. It broke off flush with the threaded end. And i have good brazing rod. I only have one switch to start the wipers. But they aren't connected together. 2 separate motors are yours separate ?

Re: 73 travco
I started to take it apart maybe that's why it looked like it might be a single motor. Anyone have a picture of their wiper motor or have on for sale? May I can knock it apart and do something with it, but I'd rather buy something.
