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.

    Looks like a 310 or maybe a 410 but I'm not real familiar with Deere backhoes. No idea what year.

    4cylinder engine its a 410 3 its a 310 rear wheels and lower cab door with no window give it away to being a a model im leaning toward 410

    Late 70s 310A

    Bolt on cutting edge looks like it came off a large wheel loader! It looks about 3 times wider than the one I bought for my track loader! Try to find a serial number plate. Seems dumb someone would remove it.

    Paint can rebuild funky bucket rebuild it's 45 plus year old hoe parts are pain. I'll guess 80 310AD increase hp with a 4 cylinder engine it's the end of that era

    1985 410-B is my guess .

    That’s what I’m guessing. Late 70’s 310.

    Alright guys, it took a lot of paint thinner, then removing the Serial plate to look at the back of it as the front was sanded flat. Best Guess on the Serial # is 410-D 326227T Does that look right? Where can a guy decode that to get year and stuff? Anyone know anyplace to get an accurate reproduction of a factory serial plate?

    Its a 410a the d simply means its a diesel if memory servs the t is where it was built
