I'm not familiar with your particular machine, but I've never had a pump go bad where the symptom was heat. I've always found heat to be a symptom of a restriction to flow.

I'd make a hose up to go from the hyd pump directly to the hyd tank fill & just let the unit run. If the pump still got hot then maybe it is bad- there's always a first.

In Germany, the 9th of November is sometimes called Schicksalstag, the "Day of Fate" because it has been the day for several major historical events, including the horrors of Kristallnacht in 1938 and the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989.
