Replacement glass for 275 magnum

Milk · Aug 15, 2021

I accidentally ran the fork from my telehandler thru the right side cab glass while changing duals on my case magnum tractor. Has anyone tried replacing the glass window themselves? It looks like it is just glued in place, no weatherstripping to try to fit into a groove.Is this something that is possible to do or best done by a dealership? Any suggestions are appreciated! Thanks I in advance

GOOGLE "How to install a windshield with urethane" and take your pick of instructional/tutorial sites and YouTube videos.

If it were me, I would contact a local glass company. I think they should be able to do the job complete.

Okay, thanks! Thats what I was thinking

If the glass is flat, a good glass company can make a glass.

There are 2 types of glass, laminated and tempered.

Tempered is the kind that shatters into a million pieces. Laminated is regular glass with plastic
in the middle.

Both can made by a glass company, laminated can be cut, tempered is cut, fit, and sent to be
tempered. If you want to DIY, make a good pattern out of cardboard for them to trace.

I don't know of any source for curved glass other than the dealer. Possibly an automotive glass
shop could help.

Its tempered and curved slightly!

Yes. Probably have to get the glass from CNH, if it's available. But then get the automotive people who do this every day to glue it in.

Im gonna check tomorrow with local glass making company to see if they can do this, dont think that they can but worth a call! I am thinking that its going to be a real pricey mistake on my part! Thanks for the response!

The hard part is getting the old glass out/off from the frame. The gluing with the urethane is the easy part. Once it is cleaned out /off so and ready for the new glass just use some rope or heavvy twine like for the big square bales and tighten it up to hold the glass in place for a bit. The crew I was on had a finger go through the front windshield on a 9600 combine one time they changed it and just held it in place till it was set. Must not be to long for that. A combine windshield sets sloped out on top so all the holding is up and back or in.
I would just roll up some cardboard to put inside my rope/tewine and after tied tight twist it up with a wood stick using the cardboard for a bridge so to speak helping hold it without cracking/breaking the glass. Might need a few of them to create a way to put a bit of pressure to hold it.

Curved tempered glass, probably not.

If they can substitute a flat laminated glass, no problem.

One of those oscillating multi tools with the right blade will make quick work of the old urethane and glass.

Thanks for the great advice! I found out that my insurance carrier is going to cover all expenses except $25 deductible! Great news!!
