MF50A Swing Motor

[Jimlesher]

We have a MF50A digger loader, not sure of the year, but guessing 1975ish. It had a bad bearing under the swing motor for the backhoe, dismantled it, replaced the bearing and bottom spacer. re-installed it. Everything works except it will not swing to the right. I am wondering if air in the system is an issue as everything worked well before the replacement. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Jim

I've changed a swing stage on a MF60 before,
allot of hoses there, are you sure you didn't mix one of them up when re-connecting.
When I removed mine, I color zip tied each end.

Thanks for the thought. There are only three hydraulic connections. One on the right, one center (smaller), and one on the left. Hoses are not long enough to mix up. When beginning to change out the parts, I moved the backhoe all the way to the right, and with the spline line up with the bracket on the bottom, it was placed exactly as the original position.
