Common Use Case or Symptoms:

Use when the windshield is cracked across the operator's sightline or has been broken out entirely - on the C Series cab this is the largest single pane, and running the machine without it puts every rock the loader throws into the cab.

⚠ Please Inspect Glass Upon Arrival: Glass items may experience breakage during transit. Before signing the Bill of Lading, thoroughly inspect all glass shipped via LTL Truck Freight. If delivered by UPS and found broken, contact us within 48 hours of delivery. Your prompt inspection is crucial for a smooth claims process.

Why Choose Broken Tractor?

• ✅ Full 1588 mm Windshield: The widest pane in the C Series cab, replaced in one piece rather than sectioned or patched.
• ✅ 7.6 mm Tempered Build: Heavier gauge than the side glass because it faces the loader arms and everything they throw back.
• ✅ 75 to 80 Percent Light Transmittance: Brighter than the cab's side panes, which is exactly what the operator needs looking forward into a bucket.
