    1979 Deere 410 parts manual... Legitimate seller?

    They work hard, do the work right, and dont ever put up a fuss. Our shop always has wrenches turning, something is always broken, i dont give them crap because they get grease or oil on some pages. Its a $10 ream of paper and $3 in ink to make a new one. What mechanic wants to be stressing out...

    1979 Deere 410 parts manual... Legitimate seller?

    A paper manual lasts maybe 6 months in the binder in our shop. I get PDF's as when one falls apart, I can print a new one in 30 minutes. We also keep several copies at each mechanics bay so everyone has manuals for whatever machine pulls into their bay.

    1979 Deere 410 parts manual... Legitimate seller?

    Got online and bought what I was told was the parts manual for a backhoe we own. Thought it was strange as it said 410 - all years. I even wrote the company an email asking to be sure as they have been making the 410 for like 50+ years. They responded assuring me that my serial was covered...

    Vintage JD badging?

    Nope, bought it online. After the past 5 years and all the problems we have had with new equipment, poor customer service, a lack of mechanics at dealerships and the 1,000 other headaches. We've just decided we are better off investing in old equipment, modernizing it and rebuilding it from the...

    Vintage JD badging?

    1979 - 410 We're 90% of the way through a full rebuild. Getting ready to paint the loader arms gray to match the boom and mimic the newer models, then build out a full custom cab from the ground up with all the modern amenities such as radio, custom sound system, A/C, Buddy Seat's, digital...

    Vintage JD badging?

    I've seen a bunch on there that are more beat up than mine. I'm trying to use money to replace time and just find a new or already like factory restored. I have yet to find a new or restored set yet.

    Vintage JD badging?

    Trying to find a place that sells new, or reconditioned 70's JD metal badges, image attached. Mine are beyond repair. Seems to be harder to find than anticipated.

    JD Backhoe seat assembly options?

    Got a 1979 JD 410 Backhoe delivered today. Absolutely hate the seat setup. Looking at options to replace it from the floor up. The factory seats from these years are wobbly at best. I see a few options out there for $1,200 and up but those would require a ton of custom fab work to install...

    Aftermarket AC's for old iron

    Anybody ever seen anything in the way of aftermarket AC systems for Old Iron? Have a few old machines around, dozer, backhoe, Scraper etc. All 70's through early 80's stuff. Getting sick of sitting in cabs without AC on hot summer days. Looking into ideas to get AC units in them. Ideas?

    Guess the year and model game

    Looking at a backhoe, its a John Deere, but as it was restored the chances of finding an actual serial are slim. Only have these 3 photos. Anyone care to venture a guess.
