Thank-you! hopefully this has saved many people thousands of dollars doing it themself too.This cost me basically nothing . I had bought the bottom half of a same machine that had burnt but only had 860 hours on it. I bought for the track parts cheap,and the bearing was just a bonus.

You made a tough job look easy. What we do is every week or so we attach an electric grease gun to the swing bearing and then do a full 360 while greasing it. We've never replaced one. And of course we grease it every day, but the grease doesn't go right around, that's the problem.

I did one of these a few years ago myself on a 307 cat. By far the nastiest, messiest job I have ever done in my life. Disconnecting the swing motor hoses through the tiny access hole underneath the machine leaves nowhere for the fluid to go but down your arms, in your hair, and face. I had an oil catch pan underneath that gave me even less room to work. I threw out everything I was wearing after disconnecting those hoses and it took me three days to get the hydraulic fluid out of my hair. I used rr Ties on top of the tracks and 4 bottle jacks to lift the machine straight up, your method was easier and probably much cleaner.

The reason they don't drain is for use in urban or construction areas where grease residue leaking out is not desired and they are also designed to be mostly closed system with just a condensation drain so that dust ingress is minimized (why the hole is proportionally small). In the forestry industry this doesn't really matter however mud and dust protection is a plus. As a side not during normal active use with regular slew ring greasing the water never really has a chance to contact the metal and cause corrosion as the slew ring is a grease pit of doom and usually has about 4 liters+ (1 gallon) of grease stuck in there after a few years of operation.

Made an absolute nightmare seem easy. I think I would have sent it to auction. My Deere has the ring bearing zerk in the cab, and if I skip any greasing, its not that one. I consider a worn swing bearing a finished excavator. Your ring gear should have been packed with grease, not water. Made it look easy - the JD book says fill 4 55 gallon drums with cement and set the unit on them with a crane! But it also wants 3" depth of grease around the gear, and that part is correct.

You can never add enough grease to this unit . We had an older cat 320D and i put in a waste oil and grease mix into a welded bin and attatched a air connection so i could pressure the container and had 2 pipes going dow into the ring gear itself . Every so often we would then use compressor r to squeeze more oil and grease into it and it lasted 10 years afterwards but messy if a hose went on the swivel unit . Thise were the days 6am to 9pm for pennys

finally a life long question has been answered, how many excavators does it take to fix and excavator. the answer? 2, the first is the machine being worked on to lift itself up and the second is a smaller on to pull the tracks and the ring.
