Message: <blockquote data-quote="Brushwolf" data-source="post: 120810" data-attributes="member: 19233">Bought a used 2016 Terex R070T with about 800 hrs on it but with a replaced engine a couple years. Apparently it was run out of oil and was a leased machine used by a landscaping company before I got it. This has a cab and front glass door that will not open unless boom arms are fully lowered. Worked fine for about a month and then it for no apparent reason stopped all hydraulic functions (boom, track), though it would start and all the accessories worked.  Being I was brushmowing in the woods at the time the boom was not all the way down and I was trapped in it. Had to crawl out the back window.Found the overhead console  loose and the door safety switch is mounted in that. Fiddled with it and tightened the bolt holding the console and it worked for a while again.  Have checked wiring for all 3 switches (door, safety bar, seat). Any of these malfunction then all hydraulic functionality ceases.Since then I have had it work for a month or two, then not work, then work after let sit a week or two.  Crawled out the back window again last winter while pushing snow. Let it sit a month and used my old 1958 Case loader for awhile and eventually went back to the Terex and it worked again.Have taken the overhead console down, set the door switch plunger further outward in the console so door gasket pushes it in further. Worked intermittently again. Can be driving along and all hydraulics just stop suddenly, like someone slammed on the brakes.  Crawled out the back window again last week.How can I be certain the door switch is defective and where can I order a new door switch online if that is the problem. I will not remove or bypass the 3 switches, but if I did the last one I would ever remove would be the door switch.  Just begging for injury or expensive front door damage doing that.Terex is a very handy little machine and still less than 1000 hrs on it. But in a pinch I will just go use the old 1958 Case instead cuz that always works.  But I do not have a tiller or brush mower for the Case..Any suggestions besides hauling it 100 miles to a dealer with locked tracks...?</blockquote>
