I had a play with the hyd system in the excavator.
I pulled all the servos off the valves and centred them.
man I wish I had done this years ago, so much better and easier to control,
next on the list is to sort the slew motor, I have wear in the shaft and gear causing the wobbles when you stop the movement.


heres a quick video of the before and after

Running great Andy. I can't imagine operating with a drifting boom, bet your happy that's gone.

The sloppy slew. Did you try to snug the motor pinion up to swing gear at all? I've got excessive slop also but notice there is some adjustment possible. Going to wait until winter shut down before dealing with it.

And happy summer to ya!
