Hey there, My Case 580 super M backhoe swing broke.
I rebuilt both swing cylinders about a year about because they were leaking slowly. Bought rings from "Brokentractor.com" I think. Definitely not from the dealer trying to save money.
Over the last year the swing developed a drift that got worse with time. Recently while returning the boom to center position I heard a very loud BANG and lost control of the swing, at least in one direction.
Are there any other components in the system that could go bad besides the swing cylinders and the valve control?
How does one tell if one or which one of the above might go bad.
Just seems weird that I just rebuilt the swing cylinders and they only lasted a year with very light use at home here, I mean like once every 2 or 3 weeks.
thanks for your help
