    Should be two lines with zerks behind the boom raise and lower cylinders, or somewhere on that plate, that lead to the inner of the rotation bearing.

    Its possible that they are on the side of the upright frames, but the lines should run down to the inside of the bearing. If its dragging on swing, its probably the swing brake dragging, more likely than just the bearing being dry.

    The swing break disc is really shiny that very likely to be the problem the swing doesn't seem to be hard of turning of nothing just the occasional bit of noise out of it
