Getting ready for the winter dig season




Swing motor had a bit of wobble in its mount plate



Added some blue locktite to the bolts & let dry before installing bolts



Not sure if I got a leak or if I'm just pushing the oil too hard making it weep every so little from somewhere... couple yrs ago I changed Jung pump from model# 4002 to 4003 increasing flow 30% to 1.8L/min, a definite improvement to move boom - stick - bucket simultaneously with good speed & no cavitation. Not touching pressure from where it was set with older pump, the pressure did go up to nearly 40Bar...

Lots of Q-tips & toilet paper, I got it pretty clean again. Can't see any notable leaks & have never had any significant volume drops in short periods of time the last yr.








Put it back together & it's off to the tunnel to finish digging out the walkway area... year #8 for the Beast If I were to guess the hrs, something close to 1600
