It’s finished: take a look! It’s finished: take a look! We just completed mounting this 1989 Mobile B-59 on a Morooka MST-1500. This drill rig mounted on a crawler carrier is FOR SALE too, so get it while it is still available!
The Mobile B-59 is powered by a four cylinder Cummins diesel engine and comes equipped with:
• New side mount auto hammer
• New 3L8 Moyno water pump
• New rod clamp and breakout
• Main winch, tool winch and wire line winch
• Leveling jacks
The Morooka MST-1500 has new tracks and a new main hydraulic pump. In addition, the crawler carrier has been run through the shop to ensure that it is the perfect undercarriage for the B-59.

If there’s one machine that’s the most effective in the oil and gas world, it’s Atlas Copco’s RD20.
Rig Source is excited to announce that we now have an RD20 III for sale!
The simplicity and effectiveness of which the RD20 handles drill pipe is a huge advantage. Changing or adding drill pipe normally takes between 45 and 60 seconds using the RD20, which is much quicker than handling drill pipe on a conventional drill rig.
In addition, the patented carriage feed system is the heart of the RD20. The RD20 III we have for sale delivers a full 120,000 lbs of pullback. The rig also has a patented derrick system and is therefore the preferred drilling equipment by shallow oil and gas contractors in the United States.
The other benefits of the RD20 III self-contained mobile rig are:
• Less site preparation time and cost
• A smaller footprint
• Reduced transport time and cost
• Fewer loads
• Reduced set-up and tear-down time and cost
• Less rig up
• Smaller crew requirement
Are you ready to bring an RD20 III to YOUR jobsite?! Give us a call for more info on the Atlas Copco RD20 III we have for sale. Remember, we can ship internationally! Contact us today at 630-365-1649 or email info@rigsourceinc.com for more info.

Blake Jones from Drill Pro Services poses in front of his new Diedrich D-120 that he purchased. This is the second rig that Blake has purchased from Rig Source.
We mounted this 1993 D-120 on a truck provided by our local International dealer. Then we built a new bed, added a new side mount auto hammer, wireline winch, rod clamp and breakout wrench. The D-120 received all new hoses, wiring harness and water tank then was painted to match the rest of the Drill Pro fleet. The finished product is a drill that Blake knows he can rely on to go to work everyday and one that his clients like seeing pull up on the job site!
Contact Rig Source today if you are looking to update your fleet. From truck and carrier remounts, to Diedrich, CME and Mobile drills for sale and for rent, we can find something tailored to your needs. Stay tuned for our next unit: a Mobile B-59 mounted on a Morooka MST-1500 that will be available the early part of February!

The end of December is a busy time of year for businesses everywhere. It’s a time of reflecting on what went well, what could have gone better, and setting goals for the new year.
Rig Source, Inc. would like to thank each and every customer for their support this past year. We hope our equipment options have helped you out in some way this year. We’ve continued to sell and rent drilling equipment and crawler carriers to our customers in the pipeline, oil and gas, geotechnical, environmental and mining industries; and we’ve been able to continue providing quality brands such as Atlas Copco, Boart Longyear, Diedrich, Geoprobe®, IHI and Morooka, just to name a few.
In preparation for 2012, we have seen a spike in the demand for crawler carriers this year. You may notice some new Rig Source ads in your favorite trade publications which say “Coming Soon.” Rig Source will be offering a third crawler carrier option to our customers in the spring, manufactured by TerraMac! Stay tuned for more info!

Logan Drilling Group in Stewiacke, Nova Scotia just purchased another Morooka rubber tracked carrier to mount one of their CME 75′s to. Logan previously purchased a new Morooka TCX-850 from Rig Source for the mounting of a CME 55, and this time opted for the larger Morooka MST-1500VD to put a CME 75 on.
Logan, like many geotechnical drilling firms across North America, is seeing the benefits of changing their units over to track mounted units, such as the Morooka carriers. The rubber tracked units allow you to get to treacherous places that truck mounted or rubber tired units can not reach and unlike steel tracked units, they still work great on blacktop and roadways with out any damage.
Call Rig Source today at 630-365-1649 or email info@rigsourceinc.com to find which Morooka or IHI rubber tracked carrier is the best fit for your drill. We can either do the mounting in house or get the carrier prepped for you and sent it out so you can mount the units yourself.

Central Mine Equipment Company (also known as CME) is the leading manufacturer of drilling equipment for the geotechnical, environmental, mineral exploration, and construction industries.
Here at Rig Source, we get a lot of inquiries about CME’s drill rigs for sale and for rent. In particular, the CME-55, CME-75 and CME-550X drill rigs are frequently requested.
Check out this short video of Canadian drilling company Determination Drilling using a track-mounted CME-55 to go through a small, muddy hill.
The CME-75 is known for its reliability and efficiency and can be mounted on a single or tandem rear axle truck or on a rubber track crawler carrier. This drill rig has fast retract rates which means quick cycle times when tripping out of the hole or adding augers. Don’t forget, CME-75’s can be mounted on our new TerraMac crawler carriers starting as soon as March of 2012!
CME’s website says it best when referring to the CME-550X: “Because all your jobs aren’t on Main Street.” You can navigate through snow, sand, rocks and mud with less damage to the terrain when using a CME-550X on your jobsite. This functionality is crucial when drilling on golf courses and farms. The rig also features a low center of gravity and high ground clearance.
For new and used CME-55’s, CME-75s and CME-550X’s for sale or for rent, call Matt at 630-365-1649 or email info@rigsourceinc.com for our availability.

Aurora, IL – Rig Source has helped fill the Christmas wishes of some women and children for a nearby center that focuses on transitional living for the homeless.
One of our very own Rig Source employees, Theron Garcia (left, in picture) volunteers her time each week at the LifeSprings center to help motivate women to be the best for themselves and their children. The center is a wonderful opportunity for women to face problems, plan for the future and work towards self-sufficiency.
Each participating employee at Rig Source really felt very excited about helping families receive some special gifts for the Holidays. Giving back to families and the community is important and at the top of the list for the company owners, Mike and Lisa Crimaldi (as seen, right).
All of us at Rig Source are grateful for the wonderful opportunity to share in the Holiday spirit and hope to have spread some cheer and joy to those at LiveSprings. Happy Holidays!
