Here is my custom built CAT 365B L excavator with Lo Drill in "MALCOLM DRILLING"

 livery.  You can see just the shear size of the drills bit alone with that man

 standing beside it..The model is based on a Norscot CAT 365B L excavator

and has been equipped with a 4 piece Lo Drill kit from M.K.D. Co.

I removed the cheap rubber Norscot tracks and replaced them

with black solid linked tracks

Front and side view all decaled and painted in MALCOLM colors

Rear view

View of the opposite side... The M.K.D.co. kit comes with 4 pieces; the drill bit,

the center boom to shaft mount, the top hanger, and a hydraulic box- (see here)

Everything is water decaled and painted in the proper MALCOLM colors and logoing

Here's a close-up of the drill auger bit

I installed brass shieves to run the hook line cable over the ringer

Installed the proper hydraulic lining

Created a brass pulley wheel for the hook line cable

on the shaft to boom mount

Created dual hrdraulics cylinders to lift the main shaft

Pic with the cylinders fully raised

Close-up of the shaft to boom shaft mount

Hydraulic lines run to a centeral boom hydraulic distribution box

Installed a workable lifting hook 

The Lo Drill lifts and lowers

Tilts forward and backwards

Entire structure folds up and in tight for transport

Second pic to show just how incredibly deep this baby

can drill when at max depth

The shaft is composed of two brass tubes a 7/16" and 13/32"

allowing one to slide tightly into another

To team up with the 365B L Lo Drill I also painted up a CAT 924G loader

in MALCOLM colors and logo's for out at the job site

...and one more pic of the loader

The kit that M.K.D. Co. provides is an awesome one of a kind base kit, its

cast out of strong white metal and is very easy to work with. If your

into customizing and have allot of patience I recommened you get this

kit and create one yourself! I enjoyed created this model and am

actually quite pleased with its end result so I hope you like too!

Here's a shot of the drilling machine at work drilling the deep base piler

holes for what will soon hold in the foundation posts for a new

freeway overpassing
