I have a new to me 550 TLB. Using backhoe today for the first time and I noticed it does not swing the same on both sides. It will swing all the way to the stop to the right (sitting in hoe operator seat) but will not swing all the way left. There is plenty of power and controls work, it seems like the chain is to long. The swing cylinders do not extend the same with the hoe in the center position. The right cylinder is extended approx 3 inches more than the left. Any suggestions on how / what to fix?
I do not know who replaced the chains, but I assume it has been done in the 4000 hrs on the machine. I thought that maybe someone put a long chain in place of a short, can the chains be switched side to side?
