909 backhoe attachment - swing cylinder repair

Left side seal is gone. Fluid is shooting out. Time for new seals. Can I just unbolt the 4 bolts on each side for the cylinder or do I need to remove the boom? Thanks, ...karl

From what i remember on mine, you can remove the bolts and slide the ends off. It just depends if you have clearance at the ends to get it off without hitting things.

When you take the lines off, they may / should have a restricter in one end. don't forgetand let them fall out. My 709 has them on the swing cylinder

All of us 909 owners wish we had restrictors on the swing. It would really calm it down.

I've just used my 909 a couple times and whoa does that thing swing side to side fast. Can restrictors be added like on the newer 709?

They sure can. You will just nee dto fiddle with the piping to be able to add one inline.
