I receently acquired a 1967 JD 4020 with a "Meade Mfg." cab that has been added on somewhere along the line. The cab itself isn't in too bad of shape, but several pieces of glass (the 2 layer safety type) are broken. I'm understanding that I may just be plain out of luck on this, but would anyone have some info on the topic? Most of the pieces are relatively small and all are flat. Their gaskets have shrunken too, gapping at the corners on the square ones and at the bottom of the curved edge ones. I'm guessing that a gasket/rubber can probably be found, but the glass itself??? Thanks in advance for yer help!

To put the glass in, Install the glass into the gasket, then put a thin nylon cord (1/8th inch) into the gasket groove on the outside, one and a half times around the gasket, Spray on silicone spray, have someone hold it up to the hole and use the cord to pull the flange of the gasket over the metal.

If you can remove the window frames, take them right to the glass shop, they'll be able to cut the pieces to fit perfect and install them into the frames with new moldings. Then all you have to do is reinstall the frames to the cab.

Yes,any glass shop will make the right one. If you aren't close to one the next choice could be plexiglass at the lumber yard. It's better than no glass but it scratches easy and collects dust like a magnet. I have one on my tractor and it works okay but--.

Like carpenter stated, not a problem. I've also have a Meade cab on my MM and had to repair a broken glass. A good glass company will be able to do the whole job; ie, replace the glass and provide new gaskets. Be sure to tell them it is the thinner gaskets. My experience is that they may not stock the thin gaskets and need to order them before the job. I later had my cab sandblasted and painted, so it was necessary to remove and reinstall all the glass.

Don't let it worry you. Make a templete out of card board or thin plywood. Glass shops all over the larger cities like radiater shops once where. You might be surprised how resonable. They will help you choose the glass. Mail them or drive them the template.
