I need a set of wiper arms, either the whole arm or just the blade holders.
If someone has them I will buy or could use advice on where to get them.
Thanks

Wes

Wes, when you get a chance, you should create a "signature" in your profile so that folks will know where you are located and what model bus you have. I looked it up in your profile (and your project pages) and you have an '85 model 10.

As far as commercial vendors, I created a "sticky" thread on known vendors who have parts for Eagles:

http://eagles-international.net/forums/ ... f=5&t=4352

I would be tempted to contact Bus Service. I visited their location a few years ago and they have a ton of parts. One of his services is rebuilding air motors for wipers. I suspect he will have the parts you need.

Thanks for the link Jim.
I tried to add a signature but can't find where to do so, I went to my profile page but didn't see it there! :oops:

Wes,

I have a set of wipers you can have for the cost of shipping from Carson City, NV. That is zip 89701 (for shipping cost estimates).

Is your Eagle a model 10 or 15? I am sure these will not fit a model 15.
They came off of my 05.

These are 30" pantographs, made to use the 20" blades. ( I upgraded to electric wipers with 34" pantographs and 24" blades for more coverage.

The only downside is they were painted white by the idiot that originally painted our coach. It would be fairly easy to sandblast and repaint them.

Let me know. You can call me at 775-eight-eight-four-424-nine or email at gpzzdrm@gmail.com

Bill, thanks for the offer, that price is going to be hard to beat! :lol:
I just got out of the hospital after having an emergency appendectomy and will be in touch with you in a few days to get the details worked out.
Thanks again.

Wes,
As a result of your interest, I went to my shop to measure the wipers to determine the size of box for shipping. I found something I was unaware of. The pantographs are a little different. Nothing of a fit problem but one has a fixture for the blade that was set for a windshield washer tube. I say was as it is broken off. The other has a different type mounting for the blade.
They are the same length and will work just fine I am sure.
If you would sent me your email address or phone number, I can send you pictures. BTW, I round a box in my shop that is perfect.
Call or email me at:

Thanks Jim I will call you tomorrow.
Thanks for the info Clifford! I called Goodson Bus Sales before I got sick and he quoted me 350.00 per side for used ones! :shock:
I had no idea they were that pricey!
