ABSTRACT:
An excavator comprises an upper unit rotatably mounted on an undercarriage by selectively driving a swing pinion against a reaction ring gear secured to the undercarriage. A semi-cylindrical grease retainer is secured to the upper unit to substantially enclose the swing pinion to continuously supply grease to meshing teeth of the respective gears. A fill-tube is secured to the retainer to communicate grease therein via a fitting disposed in an operator's cab of the excavator.
