Just finished this 18 footer stick for a friend's 385C and I'm slowly thinking about getting a small bunch cast for other collectors. A friend told me where to get it done so I might give her a try for once.

I'm looking to do 25 sticks, quick couplers and buckets. The quick coupler would be a Verachtert/Cat hydraulic wedge and the hoe would be fitted with a 84 inches wide, 7 yard Cat bucket and a 63 inches wide, 5 yard Cat bucket. If I get 17 people in, I'll get them done. I can deal with a few spares.

Here's the stick so far, quick change and buckets are yet to be drawn and built. I included a photo of the real deal with the 7 yard bucket on.

Looks nice, I'd get one, but my 385C has already gone long. Hopefully you get some people on board. This is the one thing this model does need.

Will that fit the 390 as well?

If the stick width doesn't change, it should. But I wouldn't see the point putting a long stick on a short boom. It could be done though!

I didn't realize the boom was shorter. Lol. I guess it would be though in the ME configuration.

For those who need inspiration for the stick, here's a good idea I just found tonight cruising around Grande Prairie, AB.
