2017 - Caterpillar 140M3 Motor Grader

About this machine

This Caterpillar 140M3 is a used motor grader — sometimes referred to as a road grader or blade — a heavy construction machine designed to create and maintain flat, graded surfaces for roads, foundations, and earthworks. Caterpillar is one of the world's most recognised manufacturers of heavy equipment, serving construction, mining, road-building, and infrastructure industries with a broad range of machines built to demanding professional standards.

This 2017 example is located in Colorado, USA, and is offered for $235,000 in as-received condition. It is powered by a Caterpillar C9.3 engine rated at 252 horsepower and certified to Tier 4 Final emissions standards. The machine also features an Eco Mode for fuel efficiency and is equipped with a heavy-duty electric starter, a 150-amp alternator running at 24V, an extra-heavy-duty battery, and a cold weather package to support reliable operation in low ambient conditions. An ether starting aid is also fitted. Engine oil is drained by gravity, and the hydraulic system runs on 10W hydraulic oil.

The operator station is fully enclosed with air conditioning, heating, defrost, and a rear defroster fan, and meets ROPS/FOPS safety standards. The seat is a cloth air-suspension unit with a seat belt, complemented by outside heated 24V mirrors, a sun shade, a headliner, and three wiper/washer units including a rear wiper and washer. An AM/FM radio, a CAT Messenger instrument cluster, and an online owner's manual are included. Controls are E-joystick throttle and joystick-operated, with auto articulation on demo setting and auto differential lock/unlock. A 12V accessory port and travel alarm are also present.

The grading blade is a 14-foot by 24-inch moldboard with a thickness of 7/8 inch, fitted with an 8-inch by 3/4-inch curved cutting edge without overlay end bits. The circle drive is equipped with a slip clutch, and a drawbar supplemental steering system is fitted. The machine is configured as Base plus one, meaning it includes a ripper attachment. The ripper has additional hydraulic lines, and the scarifier assembly carries nine scarifier shanks with one bent shank — currently noted at three active shanks. A riser and hitch guard group are also included, along with a push plate counterweight.

Lighting is comprehensive: front low headlights, heel-mounted 3x3 work lights, midframe toe work lights, plus additional halogen working lights, and a federal light bar with a warning light mounting. A slow moving vehicle (SMV) sign is fitted. Tires are Hercules 14.00R24, currently at approximately 20% remaining tread. Braking is via wet disc brakes, and a transmission guard is in place for drivetrain protection.

Additional features include a SY-Klone precleaner, a communication converter, a 120V engine coolant heater, standard glass, a tool box, a transmission guard, and English (U.S.) decals. The equipment certification code is listed as NCR, and the machine is offered on an as-is, as-received basis.
