About this machine
This Austin-Western 466 is a used motor grader — sometimes called a road grader or blade — a heavy construction machine designed to grade, level, and shape unpaved roads, construction sites, and earthworks by dragging a long steel moldboard blade across the surface. Austin-Western was a well-established American manufacturer with a long history of producing motor graders and road-building equipment for civil construction, highway maintenance, and municipal work.
This 1983 machine is located in California and is equipped with a Cummins engine, a reputable diesel powerplant widely used in heavy construction equipment and valued for its durability and parts availability. The grader is configured as a 6x6, meaning all six wheels are driven, which provides substantially greater traction than a conventional two-wheel-drive layout — an important advantage when working on loose, wet, or uneven terrain where wheel slip can be a limiting factor. The enclosed cab carries EROPS certification, indicating it meets rollover protective structure standards and provides the operator with a fully enclosed working environment offering protection from the elements as well as from rollovers.
Together, the six-wheel-drive configuration and enclosed EROPS cab make this a capable machine suited to demanding grading work across a range of surface conditions.
