RC5500 Crown

Good morning
I just received a new RC5500
It came with left-hand steering
Is it possible to make it right-hand?

Kindly appreciate any advice
Regards,
Ram,

Hi thank you very much, I will switch the hydraulic hose.

Sorry I ment to switch the direction the wheel turns when turning the tiller clockwise or counter-clockwise.

Appreciate thank you again

If you are asking if it is possible to change the direction the operator stands, operating the steer tiller with the right hand and the function handle with the left hand, then no there is no option for that.
If you want to switch the direction the wheel turns when turning the tiller clockwise or counter-clockwise there is:
You need to swap hoses B and C of the steering torque converter under the steer tiller.
You can also swap the hoses at the actual steering unit above the steer tires, I personally just prefer to swap the hoses at the torque converter but either option will work.
I attached a photo of the hydraulic schematics for reference if needed.

Some trees retain a form of biological memory of past droughts, and after surviving a dry period can change how their stomata (tiny pores on leaves) regulate water, and adjust growth patterns for years afterward.
