Here is my custom built JOHN DEERE 800C excavator in "AMERICAN

Excavating Co." livery. (Its hard to photograph white models w/ a

white background but sometimes black backgrounds distort images

so sorry if some of the images don't come out well...)

The base models used consisted of the CAT 5080, Hitachi 210, and Deere

200CLC

All the handrails are made of metal, the counterweight and most of the

upper structure have been custom molded

Plastic linked tracks

Painted and decaled in "American Excavating Co." livery

Deere on American flag stars decal

Equipped w/ a large scoop digging bucket

Standing tall

Long reach digging capability

Features a detachable counter weight

Counter weight works like that on the Bauer BG24 drill rig and just slides

into place

Loaded on the 2X3 the 800C heads for action

Here's a shot of the Deere 800c in action loading up some ADT's at this

mass excavation job in preperation for a new highway
