Understanding Hydraulic Pump Fittings on the John Deere 310B Backhoe Loader
#1
The John Deere 310B backhoe loader, a staple in construction and agricultural operations, is renowned for its robust performance and versatility. Central to its functionality is the hydraulic system, which powers various components such as the loader arms, backhoe boom, and steering. A critical element within this system is the hydraulic pump, which requires precise fittings to ensure optimal operation.
Hydraulic System Overview
The 310B is equipped with a closed-center hydraulic system, designed to provide consistent pressure and flow to all hydraulic functions. This system type is characterized by a continuous loop, ensuring that hydraulic fluid is always circulating, even when valves are in neutral positions. The pump flow capacity is approximately 38 gallons per minute (GPM), with a system pressure of around 2,320 psi. This setup allows for smooth and efficient operation of the backhoe loader's various hydraulic functions .
Hydraulic Pump Specifications
The main hydraulic pump used in the 310B is identified by part number AR101288. This pump has a displacement of 65 cubic centimeters per revolution (4.0 cubic inches) and is commonly used across several John Deere models, including the 310B, 410, 500C, 640, 670, 740, and 740A .
Fitting Specifications
Proper hydraulic fittings are essential for maintaining system integrity and preventing leaks. The AR101288 hydraulic pump features specific port sizes:
  • Top Inlet: 1-5/16" -12 thread
  • Right Inlet: 1-5/8" -12 thread
  • Left Inlet: 1-3/8" -12 thread
  • Discharge: 1-1/16" -12 thread
These measurements are crucial when sourcing replacement hoses or fittings to ensure compatibility and prevent potential hydraulic failures.
Maintenance and Replacement Considerations
Regular maintenance of the hydraulic system is vital for the longevity and performance of the 310B backhoe loader. This includes checking for leaks, ensuring proper fluid levels, and inspecting hoses and fittings for wear. When replacing hydraulic components, it's essential to use parts that meet or exceed the original specifications to maintain system integrity.
Conclusion
The hydraulic pump and its associated fittings play a pivotal role in the performance of the John Deere 310B backhoe loader. Understanding the specifications and ensuring the use of compatible parts are key to maintaining the efficiency and reliability of the machine's hydraulic system. By adhering to these guidelines, operators can ensure optimal performance and extend the service life of their equipment.
