Have you dipped the slew motor reduction gearbox for oil? Have you greased the bottom bearing on it? Top bearing sits in oil under dipstick, bottom bearing gets a shot of grease from underneath after removing cover plate.

OK seems that cover plate needs to come off to find the grease point

There are two plates the one that @Zebbedee mentioned below the lift rams is for packing grease on the ring gear. The one for the grease nipple is in below looking up directly below the slew motor.

Seen this has been brought back to life our 2000 js130 has been ok. Sorted a few things out on it and it run and digs fine for the age of it. It does have dreaded electrical problems give throttle issues though. ScotJcb supposed to be coming to look at it for me.

It was changing revs itself. Sometimes it was when you went over a bump. Sometimes it wouldn't rev at all on the dial.

Scotjcb mechanic cleaned up the multiplug for the throttle motor and then recalibrate it. It is ok just now but not had the chance to do much with it recently.
