I have same machine best machine I ever owned 6000hours no issues. I had same switch go bad and put a switch in cab to turn on off to lock machine hydraulic system up . check suction screen under seat clean it often . good luck

Old forge power in Pennsylvania has thousands of motors parts used . Perhaps they may have a used pump or motor that is bad for parts .

Check charge pressure while turning both ways see if it drops off in one direction that has issue . Then check pressure to left drive motor which turns machine right under load compare to other drive motor. I often had to drill tap 1/8" pipe plug into thick elbow or connector to tap pressure...

Head gaskets blew alot on these motors . Often grass debris clogged cooling fins . I have a few motors for parts .

Did you take apart old motor and inspect ? Most often they can be repaired

Keep you original solenoid .Take apart clean contacts. Chinese one will fail . I refuse to use them. Try NAPA echlin brand much better if you need another.

Jump solenoid to make hydraulic fan stay on continuously. Use laser temp gun to check temp. Make sure fan is rotating right direction.

My 2014 289 D has no electric power to quick attach motor . I use 12v jump pack to operate. Hard to get to switch and wiring in cab . Anyone fix this issue

Those pumps have a plastic drive which is on flexplate on flywheel can strip teeth off also .

Disconnected it..

Check skid plate that it is not hitting hydraulic pumps above. Mine had pumps snap off engine mount when machine was on a stump . Skid plate on mine is thin aluminum and was tight up against pumps. I made 1/4 steel plate dropped 2 in lower to protect pumps . Terex Ro 70 ASV 2015.

On Deutz diesel if belt fails valves bend . Don't ask me how I know this.

Beware of Chinesium non OEM parts.. Especially bearings and packings

Some machines like my New Holland recommend 10W -30 motor oil in hydraulic system. I have 7000 hours and all I use in it and my Yanmar mini excavator. Hitachi has a service bulletin not to use any oil with zinc since it disolved silver plating on internal pump wear surface on new machines . I...
