New Holland Workmaster 120 (decoration?), Massey Ferguson 135 (does all the hay work)
Somehow missed this prior to delivery, but the rear window won't latch on my new WM120. I can't quickly find anything about adjustment in the manual, and can't see a way to adjust the latch. I'll look again in daylight tomorrow.

Curious if there's a defect or if I've overlooked a simple adjustment. Pic shows the tooth on the handle doesn't engage with the receiver beneath. Thanks for any helpful replies.

It wasn't closed when you got it? Maybe the latch handle is defective/mis-manufactured.

Nope. I'm guessing a manufacturing issue but seems really odd this would not have been caught by QC nor at predelivery.

So in followup... I ended up cutting and putting the necessary bolt holes in a shim the same size and approximately same thickness as the metal piece beneath the latch receiver mounted on the tractor frame. That is sufficient to take care of the latch close problem. Shouldn't have to do that on a brand new tractor to make things work, but whatever...
