310-B John Deere steering housing

I'm fairly confident JD built a model 410 B as that model is listed in JDparts.com. My knowledge of JD industrial models is very limited as I was employed back in day by an AG only dealership.

Jim,

I'm glad ya'll found the needed part located a part for the tractor, I used the part number (Sub AT101661) I got from John Deere. that was the only number showing for that part, I don't know what the "Sub" stands for.

I'm glad ya'll found the needed part Sub stands for substitute. This is what the current JD 310 B parts catalog on JDparts.com lists for steering valve.
AT176926 FLOW CONTROL HYD. VALVE 1 X X (SUB FOR AT42134, AT61099, AT74315, AT79269 AND AT101661)

The housing(parts key #8 PN AT23175) doesn't fit a 310A,310B,310C or 310D. It fit's the older models such as 301 & 401's

Jim I did not mean to imply that JD did not build a model 310b only that the serial # tag on the early 310 and 410 machines was a little confusing and that the B may have been just a prefix that stood for something other than model #. which is what we found to be true. I have never worked for a JD dealership Ag or otherwise so what could I know.

Jim correct me if I am wrong, A few weeks back we had a JD 410 backhoe in our shop front tag on frame said 410-B yet it was straight 410. I believe it was in the parts manual that I read the B stands for diesel engine? sent the manual with the tractor when customer picked it up so I can't check. Would they have been building the B series in 72?

My knowledge of JD industrial equipment is limited but I think the A,B,C,etc designated different models not options. I've seen units labeled wrong especially when repainted. Several years back a local tractor jockey painted nearly everyone of the ind tractors he bought GREEN with ag tractor decals which was very confusing come repair time.
