Well after 11 years of hard use I can accept that a few breakdowns are going to happen.
The swing circuit on by Backhoe is almost totally failed.
No Oil leaks and the cylinders themselves seem okay.
There is a hissing rattle sound coming from the control valve. The swing struggles to move, having more difficultly swinging to the right , from the operator seat position.
On a slope the BH swings downhill, in fact on level ground, I can force some side relaxation by hand.
Other functions seem fine , except the swing.
I've ordered a bunch of JIC Caps and plugs, so when I pull the valve assembly, , I'll try to minimize loss of that fresh expensive royal purple hydraulic oil.
Before I pull off hoses i'll do my best to mark and photograph everything.
If anyone can PM me service instructions, schematics , etc I'd be grateful.
