John Deere 410 back hoe

[Al Smith]

I didn't know where to put this so I landed it here .Much of my life I've just been at the right place at the right time and when I Ieast expect it falls right in my lap . .Today it happened to be an early John Deere 410 back hoe .Runs but needs some work,$1000 . How much work is yet to be determined .That thing weights around 14,000 pounds 66 horse power .Digs to 15 feet and lifts 5,000 pounds . My loader tractor an old 1950 Fergusen TO-20 will only lift a ton and it has no power steering.Now I need a back hoe about like I would another nose but I couldn't pass this one up . When I get going real well the hoe can stay at the house and the old Fergie can stay at my shop . Everything I own is old and most of the time I can revive them .

I say that about chainsaws...and then I say...this is the last one...I swear!! And then another one shows up at the house....

You couldn't say no to that Al. It's worth more than twice that in scrap. And probably 10times that in use around the house. Is it a 310 or 410? A-D? KARMA or living right they both count sir. Enjoy the toy.

Congrats! Hope you know your way around a wrench. I’m constantly working on my old tractors. And I’m no expert.

I'm not sure of what model the 410 is but assume it's early . I have a hunch it might just need the fuel system "burped " IE air in the lines some place . I just ran into it trying to help by bud Tom who owns a tree service .He has a diesel Vermeer chipper that won't slip into high speed .I had it down to some kind of solid state device I know nothing about .Vermeer is going to finish that job,I gave up. Stuff like that I try to find the service manual for rather than guessing at it.As it is I have manuals from model A Fords to Lincoln MK 7's,chainsaws,Caterpillars,you name I probabley have it .BTW this is not my first rodeo ,that was when I rebuilt an AC model B tractor at 15 years old that sits in my shop now .Made in 1938 my dad bought in 1958 and I inherited on his passing in 2006 .

The 410 is a older machine and Deere is not good at parts support so searching out used parts is essential.
