Is there anyway to incorperate some kind of delay or reostat into a standard one speed wiper to make it an intermitent wiper?

I've seen aftermarket add-ons for cars, don't see why you couldn't do it for your tractor.

Thanks Will, I see your lurkeritis has advanced to lurkeritis-uwritus.

Ya, lately I've had quite a bit of free time on my hands.
Been nursing a fractured rib. 6 down and another 2 weeks to go.

Hope you're better soon.JC Whitney has one I've used for several years(much cheaper)

1*Wire one of those switches that controls the brightness of your dash lites into the wipers.
or 2* wire in a turn signal flasher.

You can make one for about ten bucks with a TTL 555 timer chip, some resistors, capictors, potentiometer, relay and a switch.

Here's a link to a kit for under $15.00.
