The cab has a big front clear window for visability

 and an overhead guard for safety

Here's a side view, the cab has been cut down from the front shovel

version which has a rised cab

Side view showing boom from the Norscot CAT 365B L excavator model

The quick coupler is a CMM Schwerlast quick coupler which works and looks

great on this model

To fit the quick coupler I've made a few different attachments...

Here's a picture of a narrow 3 tooth ditch digging bucket I created...

...A 5 toothed bucket (originally from a CAT 365B L)

...A medium sized 5 tooth digging bucket (originally from a Cat 375)

..And a large wide 9 toothed bucket for large digging projects

With the metal linked tracks, new cab design, and new body design

I really like this model when converted into excavator format!

The quick coupler also works with all the other attachments from CMM

and ones like the compaction wheel I created...

Like on the CAT 365C L ME excavator I also created in order to give the

 excavator a higher boom height and a deeper digging depth I relocated the

 hydraulic boom lift cylinders further back on the boom mount

 verses the original front shovel mount holes

By moving the hydraulic cylinders back the boom's hydraulics

don't pop out of their cylinders and it can reach way up

Also by moving the cylinders the excavator is a much deeper digging depth

by making the cylinders tilt at a steeper angle, here's a pic to show

you just how far down the boom can be lowered

 The new 365C L vs. the old 365C FS

I don't really like the CAT 365C L FS Norscot provided us all with but making

a 365C L excavator w/ quick coupler out of one turned out incredible and I am

actually very pleased with the model and am happy Norscot provided the

365C L FS as a base model so I could create this new girl of mine=)

 It also makes a great load for this heavy hauler lowboy truck=)

Here's a pic of the 365C L in action with its large digging bucket loading

 up some ADT's

Here's another in action shot of the CAT 365C L hard at work, here digging

a narrow pipeline trench with its toothed trenching bucket
