So the lube tech from one of the souths largest cat leasing dealers didnt once pull out a grease gun of any kind. He filled fuel, checked dipstick oil, sat on his phone for 2 hours, added air to a flat tire and left. There is no greasing at dealer servicing level in field. Just review video surveillance of the equip area when cat shows up to field maintain equip. They could care less.
This how to grease the slew ring not the swing gear. The swing gear is inside and never gets re-greased or added once factory installation it new. Only time would be if you cleaned it out for various reasons
Can anyone tell me where the greasing points for slew ring on the 302.7D is? thanks, there's no points down at the ring under the cab like there usually is
Hi Iasone! There is a grease port on the front on the machine that has tubing running to the inside of the ring gear. The instructions and a picture are in your machine’s OMM under the section "Swing Bearing - Lubricate". Maria C
