    Early JD 310 Backhoe Questions

    Early JD 310 I have the same machine...the hydraulic fluid sump/reservoir in the transmission is drawn by the braking system to operate the brakes. I would suggest you change the transmission and hydraulic filters...when you pull the horizontal transmission filter on the right side under...

    JD 310 New pins, bushings and repacking loader bucket cylinders - pictures round #1

    Thanks, I probably should have added more pictures on removing the snap ring...etc. On these older machines, they come apart quite easy. Unscrew the outside gland ring, I used a spanner wrench, you can use a flat punch and hammer to get that off...with a small block of wood, gently pound the...

    Round #2 pictures Here are some more pictures, couldn't fit them all on the first page Notice the cut O-ring on the gland, the internal wear ring was tough to get out without causing damage... The Chevron packing...you can see was worn out. I believe I had internal leakage in this...

    JD 310 New pins, bushings and repacking loader bucket cylinders - pictures round #1

    I needed to repack my leaking front cylinders. These are my first repacks. Not too bad of a job..just took some wrench work. When repacking, remember to oil all packings with Hyd oil and when putting rods back into the cylinders, be sure the Chevron packing is facing in the proper direction so...

    jd 310b hydraulic problem

    When you say jerky, that generally means the front hydraulic pump is starving for oil. Is it making any whining noise that is unusual? Definitely change the transmission vertical filter and check the hydraulic sump screen. There is a gear pump in the transmission that feeds hyd oil to the...

    New to me 1978 JD 310A

    There is also a sump screen that if you follow this link, go down about 10 posts and you will see a picture of where it is located. The picture is after removing the horizontal filter that is near the right rear axle. If you're going to drain the sump, you might as well go through the process...

    John Deere 310 Tranny issues

    The reverser shifting screw is under the right side of the machine, make a imaginary vertical line behind and under the brake pedals and you will see the square control valve cover about 4"x4" size that has a flat head screw adjustment on it. Chroniekon is right, back out the screw to speed up...

    John Deere 310 Tranny issues

    Suggest you do some research on this site. The early 310's and 410's had pretty much the same operating clutch/reverser/transmission. My initial thought is clutch packs in the reverser need replacement. But that is a big job and you need to check the easy things first, like transmission pump...

    JD 410 paint

    I have found rustoleum rusty metal primer to be about the cheapest and best coverage For really rusted metal. Found it best to paint over it just as it dries, otherwise, paint won't Stick, especially if enamel.

    boom cylinder

    You will need to repack the cylinder or have it repacked, the internal O-rings are leaking...the challenge is to get the gland nut off, etc. You might be best served bringing it to a hydraulic shop for the repack. To get the cylinder out, I parked the rear wheels on a the top of a hill, swing...

    I am a novice idiot and got taken for a ride---selling my 2 day old case 580c

    Should've, could've, would've is what my pappy would've said....get a grip man...invest in a repair manual and get the brakes fixed up. Leaking cylinder...really no big deal...put all that pissed off energy into something positive...

    Hey Cowman, Looks good....not sure where your planning on getting the controls, but this place has them and the owner of this company is a helpful guy. Not sure of how his prices will compare, but this might help you out. Their catalog is worth taking a look at, has many interesting...

    JD 410B 1985 model hydraulic question

    I also couldn't figure out where the sump screen was....but then I did...hope this helps. The 310 and 410 are very similar machines, operationally... If everything is working except the hoe, I don't think this is your issue... Might be the priority valve, as it splits the feed between the...

    Advice with tire chains

    I have a couple of older farm tractors that I use on my property to haul wood, snow plow and help with other chores. I bought double ring chains for the tractor I drive in the woods...since putting them on, I have never been stuck in either snow or mud...it is 2wd. But, the double ring gives a...
