Machine has about 9,400 hours on it. With a full bucket at height the house creeps clockwise maybe a degree a second, joystick centred. Park it empty and it holds fine all day.

I have already swapped the swing brake solenoid and the pilot pressure is reading 42 bar at the test port, which is in spec per the manual. Next step I am thinking is pulling the swing motor and checking the crossover relief, but that is a half day I would rather not spend guessing.

Anyone chased this one before? Is there a cheaper test I am missing?

You must or to reply here.
