I have a question on a hydraulic system particularly a braking manifold on a hydraulic motor. This is one of my stump grinders that has developed a problem and I have never seen a braking manifold and looking for suggestions before I just start replacing everything. If anyone has some knowledge here let me know please. What is happening is when I engage the motor it is not getting flow and deadlocking and wanting to stall. I have torn the motor apart and it's fine, also all other hydraulic movements work except the motor. See the attached diagrams, as stated the cutter head motor Fig 2-2 will not turn and I am thinking the braking manifold Fig 5-5 is the culprit either the electric solenoid or a stuck valve.
Hydraulic help needed

Well, lot of places that system could fail.
The messy redneck method to be done outside would be to crack lines.
Assuming the cutter head rotates freely...
I would crack the hydraulic return of cutter head motor to check hydraulic flow.
If good, problem is down line from there.
Not much help, but it's a start.
Solenoids click when energized. Maybe use a jumper to energize the solenoid with the engine off.
