This Caterpillar 14G is a used motor grader — sometimes referred to as a road grader or grading machine — a heavy road-construction machine used to level, shape, and finish surfaces of soil, gravel, and asphalt. Caterpillar is one of the world's most widely recognised manufacturers of heavy construction and earthmoving equipment, serving industries including road building, mining, and infrastructure.
This 1979 example carries serial number 96U3465 and is located in Lancaster, California, offered at $59,500 F.O.B. or best reasonable offer. It is presented in good running condition and is powered by a Cat 3306 engine paired with a powershift 8-forward/8-reverse transmission, giving the operator a wide range of working and travel speeds on varied terrain.
The machine is equipped with an enclosed roll-over protective structure (EROPS) cab and a rear ripper attachment, extending its usefulness to breaking up hardened ground ahead of grading work. Tyre equipment consists of four rear tyres in size 20.5×25 and two front tyres in size 14.00R24, all reported to be in good condition.
Recent service and refurbishment work is well documented. On 6 May 2021, the drawbar trunnion was rebuilt with three new bearings. The machine has also received two brand-new batteries with new battery covers, and two new signal lights fitted both front and rear. The hour meter reads 4,137 hours.
