Just curious as to what this is. Removed 14 hydraulic lines today to have them remade as they were scary looking, hence all the oil in the pic, and noticed this little guy off the bottom part of the swing motor. I didn't take a line off it or anything just found like this. Let me know if the pic doesn't work. Thanks again! http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c...6-f5ac-4ecf-beea-ca72d52ecb65_zps331aa4fa.jpg
That's a pipe to drain the gear oil inside the swing planetary gearbox. Doesn't necessarily have to be, but ordinarily it's pointed downward to that hole below it in the base plate.
Ok that makes sense haha. Thanks
