1986 Koehring 366 swing ‘brakes’

I have a Koehring 366, looking to get a 2nd, as parts machine. The owner of the 2nd says it won't swing, 'swing brake are frozen'... not sure I buy this... I didnt think they have swing 'brakes', though all done with hydraulics...Question: Does a 1986 Koehring 366 have actual brake pads to stop the swing?

    I don’t think they had swing brakes. Not a Koehring expert, but I do hang out on the HEF.
