    Yes. Theyre slowly getting worse and worse so would rather just replace with electric

    Take the air motor apart and clean it up and re-grease it all with a mixture of Vaseline and synthetic 75W90 gear oil. Other lube recipe might work but that's what I did and worked like new and still working after a few years of the clean/lube job.

    I like air wipers myself.

    I am switching mine also I just got a 94 FLD 120 and the wipers suck then almost stop when pulling grades I was doing a google search and found a lot of choices maybe if you look you might find one handy. I think they all averaged about 300
