We have a lower glass broken to. It’s got duck tape on both sides of glass holding it. But local glass guy said to bring him the door and he could do it.

If you have any pictures of the glass in the vinyl around it post them, I install commercial glass and some residential. Auto glass can be a whole different animal so to speak but I may be able to point you in the right direction. I made up some glass for a buddies old pick up that had plate glass instead of safety glass. It has safety glass now.

Glass is held in place with black urethane, exact same stuff as cars have used for 30 or more years. Installation is easy. Buy the urethane at Auto Zone in a caulking gun tube. Removal and cleanup of the old glass takes time.

Put some painters tape around glass on orange before removing to help keep it from scratching paint.

My local auto glass shop gets slightly irritated if I try to remove glued in glass my self… Can’t remember if they have a heat gun to melt the glue or if it is a special light (the name isn’t coming to me lol). Glass isn’t cheap though, it figures around here at $35 per sq foot and that’s just the plain glass. What did you do to end up that way? Get mad and kick it? Lol

Local shop, Bacon and Van Buskirk took the pattern i made and ordered a piece from there supplier. If it was a square or rectangle it would be around $90. Will be a little more since it has a curve in it. Hope its not much more. Should be in next week.

I’m curious how that will work out for you so keep us posted!!
Are you going to pull the door off so you can lay it down and do it?

I watched a windshield install on a newer John Deere on You Tube. So it can be installed with the door on the tractor

Definitely let it on the tractor, put a bead of urethane all the way around the mating surface then set the window up there with some pressure pushing it to seat well. Take painters tape and tape from window to frame to keep the window from sliding down or out of place. Urethane is tough stuff once it’s set up.

Got the glass for the 8050. $166 for the glass, when they cut the glass they made 2. Guess when they temper the glass some times they break? so they cut 2 and tempered both. Going to install it next week and see how it looks!

Well, i was putting the cab filter back up there a was using a small line up punch to get it lined up. got the filter and frame back in and laid the punch on top of the cab. It rolled off the roof and just hit the top edge of the glass, it sticks about a 1/4 of an inch, and shattered the window. Just enough to hit it. Whats the chance of that happening!

One more question, there is a black border around the glass, you can see it in the picture. Is that primer on the glass?

It may be paint finished, or it may be the sealant behind the glass. If it is paint it may have been put on before they tempered it.

Could you make it out of plexiglass or lexan? Tough stuff and don't have to worry about dropping your punch on it!! Lol. You can beat on it with a hammer. Buy a 4'x8' ft sheet and make several out of it. Cut it yourself with a jigsaw!
