Terex TA25, TA27, TA30, TA35, TA40 Parts Catalog – Factory Glass Reference

You’ve got a busted cab window on a TA30 and the dealer wants to ship glass from England. That’s a two-week wait if nothing breaks in transit. This Terex TA25, TA27, TA30, TA35, TA40 Parts Catalog is the workaround – it gives you the exact dimensions and part numbers to source glass locally. I’m Mike Callahan, 28-year ASE Master, and I’ve seen too many guys guess the thickness and end up with a window that rattles or leaks. This book eliminates that.

Twenty-four pages, no filler. The manual covers five models across three dump truck platforms and even includes rigid dump truck and motor scraper glass. Terex TA30 2002 Parts Catalog – 484 Pages of Factory Parts Data is a different beast – this one is pure glass. If you’re swapping a windshield or a rear window on a TA27, you need the factory cut lines, not a tape measure and hope.

TA25/27/30 Gen 7 Glass Sections

Pages 1 through 5 cover the articulated dump truck glass for Generation 7 models. Each window type – front windshield, rear, side, and door – is drawn with dimensions in inches. The manual tells you the part number for each piece, so you can order from a local glass shop or cut it yourself if you’ve got the skill. Cutting glass is its own trade; this manual doesn’t teach you how to score and snap, but it gives the experienced cutter what he needs: length, width, thickness, and the shape pattern.

Thickness matters. Trucks vibrate. A window that’s 0.005″ off will crack the first time you hit a pothole. The factory spec is in the book.

TA35/40 Articulated Dump Truck Glass: What’s Different?

Pages 6–9 shift to the larger TA35 and TA40 models. Cab geometry changes, so glass dimensions are different. Don’t assume the TA30 windshield fits the TA40 – it won’t. The manual lays out each variant separately, with part numbers that cross-reference to the truck’s parts book. Terex TA25 TA27 Operators Manual – 132 Pages of Factory Specs has the operational specs; this catalog has the glass.

I’ve watched a shop order the wrong glass for a TA35 because they used eyeball measurements. That delay cost them a day of downtime. This catalog prevents that.

Rigid Dump Truck and Motor Scraper Glass Included

Pages 10–12 cover rigid dump truck glass; pages 13–16 cover motor scraper glass. Terex built a range of equipment, and the cab glass often shares common shapes but with different mounting. The manual standardizes the reference so a distributor or owner can stock a few blanks and cut to fit. Terex TA25 TA27 2000 Parts Catalog – OEM Factory Manual goes into the rest of the machine; this one stays glass-only.

Motor scraper glass is notoriously hard to find aftermarket. Having the factory dimensions lets you order from a commercial glass supplier without paying dealer markup.

Cutting Glass: Why the Manual Matters

Page 1 states the forward: “Cutting glass is a skill unto itself.” Terex acknowledges that. They issue this book because shipping glass internationally is impractical – breakage and cost make it a losing proposition. The alternative is local fabrication to factory specs. That’s where this catalog becomes the critical reference. Without it, you’re guessing the bevel angle and edge finish.

A cracked cab window on a job site means dust and debris in the cab. Safety glasses only help so much. Proper fitting glass keeps the operator sealed from dust. Automotive Industry Overview covers why fitment standards matter across all vehicles; Terex follows the same principles.

3 Reasons to Choose OEM Documentation

First: aftermarket catalogs sometimes reprint dimensions from a photograph. That introduces error. Terex’s own drawings are the source design. Second: part numbers in this catalog match the official parts book exactly – no cross-reference guesswork. Third: the OEM spec includes tolerances. A windshield that’s 0.1″ too short will let water in. Factory tolerances are tight.

This 24-page manual is a reference, not a novel. It’s meant to sit on the workbench, not the bookshelf. Automotive Industry Overview provides broader context on how manufacturers like Terex design for serviceability.

Does This Manual Include Part Numbers?

Yes. Each glass part is assigned a Terex part number that links to the truck’s main parts catalog. The manual states: “Individual glass part number references are detailed in the appropriate truck parts book.” So you need both this glass catalog and the corresponding parts book to place an order. But the dimensions are right here – that’s the key.

Can I use regular automotive glass for these trucks?

No. Use tempered safety glass per factory dimensions. Regular glass will shatter under vibration.

How do I interpret the dimensions on page 5?

Page 5 shows a sample drawing with length, width, thickness, and a reference to the part number. The manual assumes you have an experienced glass cutter who can read scale drawings. If you don’t have that skill, take the page to a professional glazier. They’ll understand the notation: all dimensions are in inches, thickness is given in decimal fractions (e.g., 0.250″), and edge profiles are indicated by a dashed line. The forward warns that cutting glass is a skill; this book is not a training course. It gives the cutter the numbers he needs. I’ve seen beginners try to cut a curved window from a straight-line drawing and waste $200 of glass. Don’t be that guy. Hand the page to someone who knows how to use a glass cutter and template.

Bottom line: if you maintain a Terex articulated dump truck or own a fleet of TA25–TA40 machines, you need this catalog for glass replacement. Stop ordering from overseas and paying premium shipping for breakage-prone parcels. Access the Factory Manual and give your local glass shop the OEM dimensions. It’s the difference between a job done and a job done right.
