Here is my tractor that I have been doing for a while and is quite similar to yours Pinchtwist. Originaly, I used to do the the glass in the cab as just a single bubble in diamond clear 260 wedged into place. Then I thought it would be good to have a driver! The cab glass is now done with a 5" round stuffed with a 5" printed balloon. If I have time, I like to draw hair on him with an Expo dry erase marker before stuffing.(I think Sharpie Pen may smudge).  If not, they get a follicly challenged farmer!
