Thank you, I APPRECIATE your video...I Have always done my own work on my equipment and my Swing Bearing is shot, I lift up cab a few inches before tracks lifts, any way I was considering paying for this work just because I had never done one...after watching this it reminded me it’s just nuts and bolts not rocket science and 1 1/2 hours after watching this I had my machine in two pieces...I just need to pick up parts tomorrow and back together...seriously thank you! I saved $1100 in labor my children can benefit from this $$, your video was not for nothing...your saving fellow fans $$

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.

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.

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.

Well done! I never realized you could pick yourself up off of it either. I never ceases to amaze me how much these machines can take care of themselves. And how such large imposing machines can be broken down so easily with a few (sometimes a LOT) of big nuts and bolts. Hope I never have to do this on my link belt but if I do I guess the biggest challenge may be finding stumps that big!

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.

They had to take the gears out to move the burnt buncher they didn't like the speed on the downhill haul:) Thanks for this interesting share sure it was a lot of work.

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.

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
