📘 Overview
Caterpillar excavator replacement glass — this cat excavator front glass is a direct replacement for OEM part 156-6472, cut to the factory pattern at 40.5" x 33" and fitted to 75 Caterpillar C-Series and D-Series excavator models from the 307C through the 349DLVG. It installs into the original cab frame using the factory seal and retaining hardware, so no cab modification is needed. A cracked upper front screen is the fastest way to fail a jobsite safety inspection; this excavator glass replacement restores the original glazing without an OEM dealer order, and the same 320d front glass covers the rest of the C and D range.
⚙ Key Features of the C/D Series Front Upper Glass
- Cut to the OEM 156-6472 pattern at "40.5" x 33" — drops into the existing cab aperture with no trimming or re-drilling
- Covers 75 Caterpillar excavator models across the C, D and F series, including track and wheel excavator variants — one cat c series excavator glass part number across the range
- Uses the factory seal and hardware — the original rubber glazing strip and retainers are reused, so installation is a glass swap rather than a frame rebuild
- Crated for suspension freight — shipped as a large suspension-packed pane, the method Depco specifies for glass this size
🔑 Why Buy the 156-6472 Replacement Pane
- Puts the machine back in service the same day it arrives — a cracked upper screen means restricted forward visibility and a failed pre-start check; this is a bolt-in fix
- One part number covers a mixed fleet — the same pane fits 320D, 336D and 349D machines, so a contractor running several classes stocks one spare instead of three
- Aftermarket pricing against an OEM dealer pane with the identical cut and the identical mounting method

Match your machine against the list above and confirm your serial-number range before ordering; Caterpillar changed cab apertures mid-series on some models. If your model is not listed, email support@eskidsteer.com or message us on chat and we will check the aperture before you buy. Everything needed to confirm fitment is on this page — add it to your cart to check delivered pricing for your address.
Before you sign for a freight delivery: inspect the glass while the driver is still on site and note any damage on the delivery receipt before signing the Bill of Lading. Once a clean BOL is signed, a carrier damage claim can no longer be filed.

❓ Caterpillar Front Upper Glass Questions, Answered
Is this an exact replacement for Caterpillar OEM 156-6472?
Yes. The Depco D156-6472 pane is cut to the same 40.5" x 33" OEM pattern as Caterpillar 156-6472 and mounts in the original cab aperture using the factory seal and retainers.
Will the 156-6472 glass fit a 320D and a 336D?
Yes. Both the 320D and the 336D take the same front upper pane, along with 73 other Caterpillar models listed in the compatibility table on this page.
What size is the Caterpillar C/D Series front upper glass?
The pane measures 40.5" x 33". Measure your existing glass before ordering if your machine has been re-cabbed or fitted with a non-original screen.
Do I need new seals to install this excavator glass?
No. The Caterpillar front upper glass installs into the original cab frame using the factory seal and retaining hardware. Replace the rubber glazing strip only if it is perished or torn.
How does this excavator glass ship?
The 156-6472 pane ships as a large suspension-packed unit by LTL truck freight to the lower 48 US states. Shipping is calculated at checkout once you enter your delivery address, and lift gate service can be selected there for residential deliveries.
Does the 156-6472 glass fit Caterpillar wheel excavators as well as track machines?
Yes. The MH3049, MH3059 and W345CMH wheel excavators take the same 156-6472 front upper pane as the track excavators, from the 307C up to the 349DLVG.
Is this the upper or the lower front glass?
This is the front UPPER pane — the screen above the operator sightline. Caterpillar uses a separate part number for the front lower glass, so check which pane is cracked before ordering.
Does the 156-6472 glass fit a 307C mini excavator?
Yes. The 307C and 307CSB are on the Caterpillar track excavator list for this pane, despite the size difference against the larger 345 machines that share it.
