Hey guys recently brought a 2005 kobelco sk50sr3
I need to change the pattern from John deer to standard CAT pattern
It is not fitted with the valve to change over so believe I need to change the hoses.
Would any body know how to do this and be able to walk me though it and what hoses to swap.
Thanks
Dimi

Are you sure there isn’t a pattern change valve under the operators floor or on a side panel under the door where you get in and out? You want to be sure to change the pilot lines from the joysticks to the control valve, not the lines that come directly off the valve and go to the cylinders.

No there isn't a valve there as far as the previous owner knows when he brought it new he didn't get the valve installed as he only drives in backhoe pattern so had them set it up like that.
Under the floor where you get in and out of is where the battery is there is no valve there
