I looked at a used John Deere excavator today, how much is to much play in the boom pin and bucket pin?
I was by myself so only could watch the movements, I would guess the bucket pin when you lift it off the ground or let it down and put weight on it was .375" play.
The lower boom pin appears to have at least .250" play while looking through the side window.
The machine is a 2005 with 3300 hours. This seems a liitle much for that few hours, to me. Would like you opinions, and thanks for them.
