A switchable cross-over O device includes a tool body, a flow sleeve, and a hydraulic sleeve. The tool body includes a main tool path separable into upper and 00 lower tool paths and an auxiliary chamber containing upper and lower annular ports. The flow sleeve is within the auxiliary chamber O main tool path and mechanically coupled to the flow sleeve. The hydraulic sleeve is movable into a conventional circulation position and movable into a reverse circulation position by a plug traveling through the main tool path. The hydraulic sleeve is located within the via pressure within the main tool path acting on the hydraulic sleeve. C
