Hope some one here can help me with this
Bought a 490 jd excavator has rod controls at valve body and is set for backhoe pattern. I would like sae pattern one of the previous owners told me this would have to be done by switching rod controls and not hyd.hoses says it will blow relief valves. Now previous owner has done brave and questionable feats that I have witnessed over past years (ie turn dozer over on its side with large trackhoe just to replace rods and mains.... Uh yeah now you see my reservations) I have never heard of changing rods always changed hoses machine does not have diverted valve Can anyone shed light on this
