Another Hobby Engine crawler crane.

The problem might be the gear skipping and not the clutch. Try operating with the boom up more and keep the bucket closer to the machine.
If the problem is gone, it's skipping due to flex of upper structure.
Maybe drill a few small holes in the bucket side plates to drain the water easier? Not too big though or it won't be any good for dirt or sand!

Great idea fishing for golf balls

Thanks, my thought to about drilling holes.
Here`s a vid I just shot, looks like a clutch prob but why more left than right?

My mistake. I bet the swing gear pinion is not skipping a tooth but getting too tight with the swing gear under load which causes the clutch to ratchet.
Not sure why in only one direction. These are not precision machines.... I've got one myself.

Thanks Mario, your prob. right . I`m not going to worry about it now just run it for a while.
We almost drove over too your country not long ago to see the lakers go through the locks but didn`t make it.
We live about 100 miles East of Duluth.

Let me try posting the vid again.
