I have a Japan-imported ZX120-1 used to build agricultural terraces here in the Malaysian part of Borneo. It has clocked about 17000 hours so far.
Hydraulic oil mixed with gear oil started to overflow from the gear oil inlet at the bottom of the swing motor. Just prior to the leak, the swing motor started to vibrate. What we have done so far but have yet to resolve the weeks-long issue:
- replaced the seals
- replaced the shaft and bearing
- replaced the valve plate
The mechanic who has been doing the above is a very senior mechanic at a heavy machinery company who moonlights to help me. Other mechanics told me to verify that the swing motor is assembled correctly but my mechanic is adamant the assembly is correct.
Any tips/suggestion on what to look for next is greatly appreciated.
