    I'm assuming it is excavator pattern now , you want to switch the boom to the stick and stick to boom. Trace the hoses from the cylinders to the control valve. I am not 100% sure but you may have to have new hoses made , they may need replacing anyway. Cat done this to keep the excavator operators happy when they got on a hoe, but generally guys want the deere type on a hoe.
