If you are looking for the glass to replace a broken one AGCO hasn't sold those in at least 20 years. You have to get creative to find one. On a couple of tractors I used a replacement glass from BURCO. Here is a picture of some I am working on now. I have to cut the glass just above the lettering on the bottom and trim the sides. I use a normal glass cutter and a fine grit sanding pad on my sander(make sure you grind away from you and wear glasses). This is for the convex mirrors, I would bet they have the same in a flat mirror, BURCO has an online catalog. If you are going to use the convex make sure you form the plastic backing to a curve BEFORE you try to mount the mirror(it doesn't turn out well). In the picture the bottom one is the flat style and you can kinda see the top one has a slight curve. I prefer the convex so that is what I have used.  I have also bought some convex mirrors with the correct size that are already mounted in a housing, they were cheaper. I thought I could remove them from the backing and use them. I just haven't got to that yet, might work, might not. Just thought I would throw that idea out there.  I would bet a decent glass shop could cut them for you if you wanted to go that route.
