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

The John Deere 410J Backhoe Loader, manufactured from 2007 to 2011, was the largest and most powerful model in the J-Series. Built for heavy-duty excavation and high-capacity loading, the 410J features a Tier 3 turbocharged engine, AutoShift transmission, and load-sensing hydraulics. Its impressive digging depth, breakout force, and lift capacity made it a preferred choice for highway contractors, utility crews, and large-scale site development. With its enhanced cab design, electronic diagnostics, and jobsite-tuned controls, the 410J delivers serious performance and rugged durability in one powerhouse package.

• Loader pins, bushings, and wear pads

• Brake friction discs and axle seals

• Cooling system parts – thermostats, belts, and water pumps

Common Issues & Quick Fixes:

• Transmission hesitation or skipping gears: Often tied to worn solenoids or dirty filters — replace with AutoShift transmission kits

• Hydraulic power loss or drift: Common with high-hour units — reseal with hydraulic repair kits

• Rear brake weakness: Caused by friction disc wear — restore with wet brake rebuild kits

Pro Tips:

• Take advantage of diagnostic port access to monitor system pressure and transmission codes.

• Load-sensing hydraulics demand clean fluid — keep a strict filter change schedule.

• Use low-idle shutdown to reduce fuel burn during prolonged loader staging.

Serial Number Info:

• Location: Left frame rail near loader arm mount or under operator platform

• Serial Number Format: Begins with T0410J_ _ _ _ _

• Always reference full serial number for compatibility — especially with hydraulic or transmission components.
