Broken window

[Brian.Price]

We just had a bad storm and a tree fell on my International 270A backhoe and broke out my rear glass. I don’t even know where to start. Any helpers out there. I am in central Mn.

If it is flat glass, talk to a local glass shop. They should be able to cut a replacement, furnish a rubber seal and do the installation.

Welcome To YT forums and ASAP parts (our parent company) If curved glass, finding a replacement may be difficult. If flat ss55 is on track. Jim

My Ford 655A TLB gets windows replaced regularly! A glass shop should be able to provide you with some tools and instruction. Then with some Murphy's vegetable oil soap for lube you should be able to "unlock" the grommet. Of, course if the window is busted right out, none of that is necessary. Then the big job is clean up! Trace the outline of the opening of the frame on a large piece of cardboard. The glass shop will cut the glass smaller, leaving the proper "margin"-(the difference in size between the frame opening and the window) The grommet can probably be cleaned up and re-used. New may be easier. It's placed into the frame, lubed up, the glass is worked into the grommet, and the locking ring is worked back into place. A second set of hands is advisable. It can be a job working the glass in and getting the grommet "zipped" up.

If the glass broke into many tiny pieces it has to be tempered glass, a safety glass.
So you can't use regular glass. If you can't find safety glass, use plexiglass or another stronger plexiglass.
I would start with the IH dealer first.
I broke the door on my Kubota.
Kubota dealer ordered a new door.
It was around $800 ouch.

Numerous online sites sell special order plexiglass in different thicknesses. They cut to order. Don't know why your seal wouldn't still be intact....neighbor had the rear glass on her 2016 JD 4052 break and the rubber seal was intact. This had a curve to it and the rear wiper was attached to the glass including 2 lift assisting risers. She hasn't resolved the problem as yet.

If the glass is curved then it would present a problem if a flat sheet couldn't be jury-rigged to do the job. I never attempted to make a curved surface out of plexiglas so I don't know the mechanics of how to do it and keep the material clear.

The side door on my Branson was hit by a rock from my drum mower and broke into a million pieces. Had a new one in 3 days from the warehouse in Plainview, Tx. Cost was about $625 including UPS delivery.....but it has a compound (2 directional) curve to it. The tractor was only a couple of years old at the time and I didn't want to cobble it up with a homemade fix.

I have since made plexiglas shields for my tractors that use the drum mower....on the open station to protect ME!

Was that the same storm that hit Omaha several days ago?

Our daughter had some tree limbs down, but no damage to the house. Her next door neighbors had the misfortune of a tree falling on the house. The poor kids have only lived there a couple of months and have a brand new baby.

Polycarbonate is the generic form of GE Lexan that was used for some flat panel tractor cab windows, like the rear and side windows of JD Sound Guard cabs. Much stronger than plexiglass, it reflects less sound than glass, is tough and impact resistant ( we used 3/8 polycarbonate as fragmentation guards around ordinance manufacturing equipment). It can be cut and drilled with normal woodworking tools.

looks like the part is $333.16 from John Deere

Great advice. If you can salvage the window, it can be copied. If not, then the cardboard template. Look for a glass shop with automotive glass. Automotive glass has the plastic core and is much more durable.
