Hi Jason
I purchased the wiper motor at Surplus Center and bought the wiper arm from my local auto parts store . The wiper arm is a universal with adjustable length, the shaft on the motor is a common size.
The heater was purchased at https://www.tractorpartsasap.com/Auxiliary_Heater_p/111417.htm yes it has a 2 speed fan. I tapped into the thermostat housing for the supply to the core it is British pipe thread but standard pipe is close in size and works just fine. As for the return to the engine I cut the lower rad hose and made a tee to install in it. Heater works great only takes 5 min to get heat when cold. Hope that helps.

Looks familiar;



Very nice attention to detail. I wonder if the heater will keep up with the radiator fan pulling warm air back out of the cab? Is the roof noisy?

Wow, very very nice work and attention to detail....

I just moved from California back to Traverse City area, but I lived in the Keweenaw during the winter of 95/96 when we got 377" of snow. I went to Michigan Tech during those years, lived in Houghton. That was the year that the temp never broke zero F for the whole month of February, I think it was 32 days? Just loved the extreme snowfall there. Now, I've only been back to the north a few weeks after 14 years in the Silicon Valley, trying to thicken up my blood!

Great work!

CM
