CAT 365B L ME mass excavator

Base Model: NORSCOT CAT 365B L

Scale: 1:50

Here is my custom made 365B L ME you get an idea of the

mass excavators size with that man by the bucket there

Since the rubber Norscot tracks took away from the model I stepped

them up and added linked tracks from a joal EC650ME I had lying around

To make this excavator into what you now see I took the boom

and mass bucket from an EC650ME and stripped the paint and then

painted it CATERPILLAR colors and then removed the Norscot boom and

bucket from the 365B L and then attached this new ME boom and bucket

To make this model more like the real machine I fabricated some

hydraulic lines to run from the hydraulics down the boom

Here's another photo of the hydraulic lines showing how they connect

to the original lines that run into the hydraulic pump

Overall I like how this custom turned out and can't wait to

put it to work to see what it can really do

Here's a comparison pic to show you the difference between

the original 365B L and the new 365B L ME excavator

Looks great loaded up on the multi-axle lowboy

huge scoops of dirt and loading it into the awaiting articlated truck
