Hi Pennine, you're brave! I always thought they looked odd and were possibly pretty horrid to work in. I believe the front screen is perspex (anyone know?) which if so, will go cloudy in time.
The only times I have seen them in the flesh, they have been on a County or Roadless
Good luck, let us know what you find!

In UK our JD 4020 had a Fritzmier, had it for many years. Always got into the cab from the rear.
The windscreen was some kind of toughend glass, don't think it was Perspex, cabs were primitive back then but compared with no cab they were great.
my old boss had a 4020 with one on in the 70s , I was looking to put one on an old Vintage tractor where you get on off the back anyway, the windscreen would be a good start

My old chap bought an F plate JD 2020 back in the early 70's with a Fritzmeir cab and im pretty sure it had a little front door to get out of.
Had a few bits of it kicking about until a few years, as he put a Duncan cab on it

A friend has one at the back of his shed mounted to a MF200 series three cylinder with some non-British model number. Not a 240 but very similar. Fairly sure that the cab is a Fritzmeier.

The first time I came across this cab was with a liming contractor back in the very early 1970's mounted on a Roadless tractor.
