CAT 365C L ME mass excavator
Base Models: Norscot CAT365C L FS/ Joal Volvo EC650ME
Scale: 1:50

Here is my custom CAT 365C L ME excavator! You can get an idea of this
machines size as that man walks past its massive bucket

The cab is protected by a full front and overhead cab guard

Front view to show off the beefy thick boom arms and big toothed bucket

The base model is a CAT 365C L FS that the front shovel system has been
removed and the cab has been cut down to fit in excavator format. The mass
excavator boom and bucket are off a Volvo EC650ME model

In order to give this excavator a higher lifting height and a deeper digging
depth I moved the booms lifting hydraulics back rather than using
the standard holes from the original front shovel

By adjusting the hydraulics placement the excavator is givin a deeper digging
depth like shown here and a higher reach hieght like shown below...


Overall this is a pretty easy custom and one I absoultly love! If you are into
custom building I highly recommened in investing in making on of these baby's!
