I just picked up a tiny cat 301.5 I used it one day and went to service it . I greased everything after the service and now when I rotate it in different directions it makes a popping noise or like something is hitting any ideas ?

Did you grease the swing bearing..?
Do you have a manual showing what the service points are on it, or is there a sticker on the machine.?
Post a Serial Number so that detailed info can be located for it.

Is there a swing lock pin like on some mini excavators?
IIRC, my old TB035 had a lever to mechanically raise a transport lock pin on the swing.

Well it looks like the swing motor took a crap when I was diagnosing it today I lost power to the swing and could feel it vibrating and it kicked it and now I don’t have any swing at all now. Any places that rebuild these besides getting a new one at over 3k

Might be an idea to get into the bottom end of the "motor". There is a planetary transmission directly below the motor, if that has taken a dump it might be preferable to a piston motor crapping itself. See the illustration below. The ring of Allen-head bolts (circled) should get you into the planetary transmission in the rectangle.
No idea where you might get one rebuilt or exchanged, sorry.

I think you buy almost any piece in there.

That shaft shows in stock in Morton.
I found this too.
Maybe you could google each number (original and replacement) and find a whole unit, new or refurbished.

We have some new mini-excavator swing motors that might work for you. You should speak with one of our Parts Specialists and see if we can get your replacement swing motor for less than you found. They can be reached at (800) 333-0650, or visit our website at https://www.hrparts.com. If we can't help with the part, we will try to point you in the right direction. Good luck.
