well the only 6700 in tractor photos doesn't have a cab, so i haven't seen the door, but to get a general idea, this is a time consuming project, but if you have some fab skills you can make one, id start by getting some heavy cardboard, double sided stuff, then work with it to make a skin , cut it in as many pieces as you need to get the shape correct,and tape them together, don't get in a hurry, once done you can lay the finished cardboard skin on a bench , now if this door has drastic bends in it this will be much harder, but if its just gently contoured you can use the cardboard shape as a guide to cut and bent sheet metal, until it fits the cardboard guide precisely, by this time you will be really deciding just how much you want that door, lol, but after the outer sheet metal is bent take some light angle iron of however wide the door needs to be, take the other door apart to see how they ran the bracing to get an idea, you can rivet it, tack it with a light duty welder, [ a regular one will just blow holes in your hard fought sheet metal] , and install the bracing on the back side of the outer skin where it needs to be, remember you'll be mirroring the other door, not copying it, this is really a long tedious job, and if you hire it out that will be one high dollar door, if it has a inner panel it will need to be made too, like already mentioned unless the tractor is for winter operation, take the other door off and just run the tractor without it
