310E is open center but pretty sure the 410 or 410B in question is closed center.

Very. On Dave's point about closed center being expensive and the idea of avoiding that in older machines. I totally agree with that.Are you certain?
I've owned a couple Deere 410 series. They have been closed center. I had been led to believe ALL John Deere backhoes are closed center.Very. On Dave's point about closed center being expensive and the idea of avoiding that in older machines. I totally agree with that.
View attachment 231309I got the same situation on mine and I couldn’t tell by just looking at it. Also , if worn , is it just one spot near the top of the hole or the full length of where the roller bearing cage presses against. I couldn’t tell so because of this doubt, I ordered the after market kit and will try it. If it comes apart then my plan “B” will be a piece of pipe or similar around the kingpin.
