The rubber that holds it in has a parting line in the middle. One side is in a groove tucked under the other side. Start where the ends are,normally at the bottom, with a flat screw driver and pop one side out from under the other side. Do that all the way around and the windshield will come out. Its easy to see how it works when you get it started opening up. Better get some straps around the windshied to hold it until you get control of it or you might wind up with a bunch of little pieces. Dont ask me how i know

My auto glass guy would come here and do it for a fee. He's good.

Probably the same as windshield of 70xx's. Maybe practice with the broken one.

We swapped a side window around on a Year-a-Round cab and it wasn't too bad.  It sure was nice to be able to put its frame on the workbench.  I imagine a combine windshield would be a bit trickier.  You may need to be careful with that 50 year old window molding, ours wasn't that old and it just crumbled.  The new molding was much easier to install at least.

Good description. It can be done solo, but it’s easier with two people. I’ll add some comments.

First thing- a bucket of soapy water & sponge or even a can of penetrating spray lubricant helps soften up & relax older rubber gasket. Next, a newer edged flat screwdriver can aid in “opening-up”~ unzipping gasket seal.
When installing windshield, place gasket around metal frame first & then push windshield into gasket. Once windshield /gasket is “slotted together”, use an older used “dull-edged” screwdriver for “re-zipping” gasket into locked position. Again soapy water/penetrating lubricant helps the seal zipping up process. With lubricant applied & once zipper seal gets started, one continuous stroke of the older screwdriver to seal will pop/lock gasket seal into position.

Get a can of silicon spray lube.  It will help bring some flexibility back to the rubber.
