Got my eye on a 96 Kobelco SK100, could someone tell me what pattern the levers have, thanks.

    It'd have whatever the last person set it as. Not trying to be a smarty pants, but it is a 5 minute hydraulic hose swap to go from one to the other. Or you could put one of these slick and inexpensive pattern valve changers as found by Mr ATCO / Willie59 : HeavyEquipmentForums Cheers

    Thanks, so what is the pattern from the factory?

    Probably Cat pattern, standard excavator pattern.

    So right stick bucket/dipper?

    Right stick boom/bucket, left stick swing/crowd.

    Thanks for that, but.....can that be changed? I know I will get muddled up!

    Yes, you can swap hoses for a "permanent" fix if you feel you don't want to switch back and forth often. If you'd like the ability to switch back and forth without tools, a diverter valve can be installed.
