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

The John Deere 410K Backhoe Loader, built between 2012 and 2017, was designed to handle heavier lift-and-dig operations with improved fuel economy, comfort, and control. Featuring a Tier 4 Interim diesel engine, AutoShift transmission, and pressure-compensated hydraulics, the 410K delivers a robust combination of power, precision, and productivity. Known for its PowerLift feature, this model outperforms in deep trenching, pipe-laying, and heavy load-lifting tasks — making it a contractor favorite for infrastructure and utility work.

Frequently Replaced Parts:

• Backhoe cylinder seal kits

• AutoShift transmission solenoids and filters

• Brake discs and rear axle seals

• Loader pins and bushing sets

• DPF sensors and exhaust temperature sensors

Common Issues & Quick Fixes:

• DPF Regeneration Faults: Usually caused by failed sensors or backpressure issues — replace with DPF parts

• Transmission Slips or Delayed Response: Often fixed with new clutch discs or solenoids

• Hydraulic Drifting or Lag: Replace worn piston seals using hydraulic seal kits

Pro Tips:

• Don’t interrupt passive DPF regens — allow cycles to complete or you’ll trigger forced cleaning.

• Use diagnostic tools to monitor load-sensing hydraulics and identify solenoid issues early.

• Keep boom and loader pivot bushings greased to prevent slop and structural wear.

Serial Number Info:
