Picture of cab door handle on 4x20 or 3x20

Would someone mind taking a picture of their cab door handle in their 4x20 or 3x20 where the gas closer attaches? I had my door open and it caught on a pile of broken up concrete I was moving. Luckily the glass didn't break, but it did damage the hinges. I took the door off to replace the hinges, and noticed the area where the gas shock attaches may be bent.

Was hoping to bend if back before I had the glass attached again if it needed some tweaking. I attached what it looks like right now. My local dealer doesn't have any cab models in stock right now to compare. The pictures in JD parts aren't detailed enough to see the angle everything attaches.

The fact that you bent the hinges and the glass didn't break is amazing. Go buy a lotto ticket, right now!

I was quite surprised as well. Caught the bottom corner of the glass and ripped the weatherstrip. Broke the bottom hinge completely off and bent the top one. When I replaced the weatherstrip there was a small chip of glass that fell out, but it was so small the new weatherstrip covered it. Would hate to know what a whole new piece of glass would have cost.

An acquaintance told me last summer they were about $500 for a 6000 series, but I don't know how much "rounding" he did to that number.

Hope these pics help. On a 3720.

Thanks much, exactly what I needed. Looks like I do have some straightening to do.

It looks like the bend is between the ball and the factory bend. That's area I would straighten.
