Thanks for the reply.

The motor rewinders just called me and they have the motor running and want to go with me to install it and check for current draw before they rewind it. The armature is burned evenly all the way around it, not like two commutator bars and the related windings so at least the motor wasn't stalling out. But I guess under load, it heated up pretty badly but kept on running. The only reason it stopped running was that the winding insulators melted and coated the armature enough that it seized it to the magnetic bars on the case.

How am I going to check the hydraulic system if the amp draw is too high? Assuming that the relief valve pressure is correctly adjusted, what else could there be?
