Good morning all, I’m looking for the travel hi/low speed solenoid. I’m pretty sure it’s my problem I just don’t know where it is. I can shut the machine off and turn it back on and it will go into low then after a while it goes into high and won’t shift back down until I shut it off again and restart. Thanks for any help.

I’m assuming it is one of these four that changes travel speed from hi to low. Diesel my main lines from the rotor don’t go anywhere near these little pilots.

Your first picture is of the swing motor/gear box.
I mentioned the propel speed shift hose goes to the center joint (rotary manifold).
The center joint (rotary manifold) is in front of the swing gear box.

The propel hi/low solenoid electrical signal is sent by the main controller. It is not sent directly to the solenoid from the propel hi/ low switch.

Your serial number range looks correct .
Hose # 20 is supposed to go from the center joint to the solenoid block.
On the top of the center joint there should be (2) small 1/2 “ hoses which are for propel motors case drain and for the propel speed shift. The (4) large high pressure hoses are for the propel motor direction supply hoses.
