John Deere 410 Backhoe Loader – Parts, Specs & Serial Numbers

The John Deere 410 Backhoe Loader, introduced in the late 1970s and produced into the early 1980s, was one of Deere’s first heavy-duty industrial backhoes designed for larger excavation and loading tasks. It featured a robust 300-series engine, high-capacity hydraulics, and extended digging depth that made it a go-to for contractors handling big utility or foundation jobs. Its mechanical simplicity and heavy frame still make it a favorite on farms and construction yards where raw power and easy servicing are priorities.

• Greasing: Every 8 hours on all pins and pivot joints

Commonly Replaced Parts:

• Loader and backhoe cylinder seal kits

• Brake linings and linkage components

• Pins, bushings, and wear pads

• Water pumps, belts, and thermostat kits

Common Issues & Quick Fixes:

• Brake Fade or Pedal Drop: Caused by worn mechanical brake linkages or drum wear — rebuild with brake kits

• Backhoe Drift or Weak Lift: Usually due to worn piston seals — fix with hydraulic cylinder seal kits

• Hard Shifting or Grinding: Inspect clutch condition and replace as needed with manual clutch parts

Pro Tips:

• Always check the steering pivot and loader tower bolts — these can loosen over time under heavy lift cycles.

• When loader rams "float" down during idle, it's usually a sign of internal bypass leakage.

• Grease pivot pins frequently — the 410 frame tolerances rely on good lubrication for tight operation.

Serial Number Info:

• Location: Left side of tractor frame, near loader tower or beneath operator platform

• Serial Number Format: Begins with T0410D_ _ _ _ _

• Always match the full serial number before ordering model-specific or generation-specific components.
