Looking at buying a mid 80's John Deere 490 Excavator. Have not been able to find much information on these machines (lots on 490d and 490e).
The machine is well used and will only serve as a hobby machine to use around my camp.
The hoe is set up on backhoe pattern and id need to switch it to excavator, looked behind the cab at valve bank and all i could see were hard lines that would not be easy to change out to switch boom and stick functions. The seller mentioned something about switching linkages under joysticks but im not real interested in that. I assume a machine this old wouldnt have a patter changer.
If anyone has any details on an easy way to switch the patterns....
Also interested in what i should look for when looking at this machine, other then obvious undercarrage wear, final drives, pins and bushings etc..
