Cat 315BL Excavator With New Chains & Sprockets & Extra Bucket!

2001 CAT 315BL Excavator – 6,223 hours (meter works) - Serial#03AW01639 - I have owned this machine since 2012 and put~300 hours on it cleaning up storm debris on my property. This machine is mechanically sound. Just had a 2,000 hour service performed at Thompson CAT along with new CAT chains and sprockets. Grouser pads are at 50%. All in all about $10,000 worth of service and repairs that I can provide receipts for.

A previous owner replaced the front glass with plexi-glass. Whatever broke that window messed up the window frame itself, but that is about $3,000 and I decided not to replace it. It holds the water and wind out and the way it is right now has been good enough for my use. All other glass is fine. Also the air conditioner may or may not work.

I haven’t had it checked but it does squeal when you turn it on and it doesn’t blow cold. Batteries are 2 years old. Starts and runs just fine. Has slight oil and hydraulic leaks (like they all do). Cylinders are dry.I have kept the cylinders and turntable greased.

Turntable is tight. All functions and gauges work normally. It is a great work machine that you can run all day and not have to worry about getting scratched. I have kept it in the barn when not in use. I have told you about all of the problems that I know of or have encountered since I bought it.

If I didn’t have to pay for school for my sons,I sure wouldn’t sell it. I paid $36,000 for it in 2012. My loss is your gain.You can tell from my feedback that I can be trusted to give you the real story. You can get the machine specs at Richie Specs dot com. Comes with a 24” and 48” digging bucket, mechanical thumb and operator’s manual on CD.
