425 Swing issues?

[StatelineServices]

Just purchased a used 425 with around 2900 hours. Seems to be a pretty well maintained machine, pretty tight & strong. I've only run it a few hours so far, and noticed when smoothing up "sweeping" side to side with the bucket, the swing seems a little "notchy", like you can feel every gear on the ring. Anyone ever experience this, and is it a common problem? Big issue, or minor? Any input very much appreciated.

Doesn't sound normal to me, it should be fairly smooth, it could be gear wear or even a bad bearing?

sounds like it hasn't been greased often enough to prevent wear on the swing gear & turn table gear. grease the hell out f it & see if that helps out at all. would be a great idea to press the bucket into the ground & check for turn table bearing play while lifting up.
