SWING CYLINDERS

[chuck1764]

I have a ford 3550 with a 753 backhoe when i swing the boom it wants to over travel and i end up with slack in the chain. Can someone tell me how to adjust the cylinders so i can keep the chain tight.

totaly different system, but I notice the swing cylinder tend to get air in them easier than the rest of it. If it starts the tail wagging, cycling it back and forth can work it through.

Thanks for the reply. With further investigation i found the lower pivot pin broke and bushing gone and no one can get me a bushing.
