Hi guys I have a Kubota KX080-3 just rebuilt the engine and is running fine, all the hydraulics work great, drives back forward hi/ lo speed but it wont slew either left or right. It tries to and the engine loads up but no slew.
have tried looking for a manual slew lock but haven't found it as yet.
Any help would be much appreciated.

If it has a manual drop in pin for locking the slew there should be a receiver for it on both ends of the track frame near the slew bearing diagonal from each other so U can lock it facing forward or backward

Good day
The tread implies that the engine loads which indicates a mechanical lock of some description is there any evidence of metal coming from the transmission? is there any history to the fault?
Kind regards
Uffex
