What is 2327000140, 232-70-00140 SHIM KOMATSU?

The 2327000140, 232-70-00140 SHIM KOMATSU is a shim assembly used in Komatsu grader drawbar systems. Public references specifically place it in DRAWBAR sections for machines such as the GD500R-2A S/N 20028-UP and GD621R-1 S/N 10001-UP, which indicates that this shim is used as a spacing and alignment component within the drawbar structure.

In heavy machinery, a shim assembly is small in appearance but important in function. It helps maintain correct spacing, alignment, and contact pressure between connected parts. In grader drawbar systems, that matters because the drawbar directly influences blade stability, control precision, and the consistency of working geometry during grading operations. This functional explanation is based on the part’s catalog classification in drawbar assemblies.

Visual Inspection

The product images show a flat, square shim-style plate with a large central opening and four corner bolt holes. This design is consistent with a spacer or alignment plate intended to sit between mated structural parts or under a mounted component in a drawbar assembly. The broad central cutout reduces unnecessary mass while preserving the outer contact area around the bolt pattern. That kind of geometry is common where controlled spacing is required without interfering with the movement or passage of a center-mounted element.

The finish visible on the part also suggests a corrosion-protective surface treatment suitable for outdoor heavy equipment use. Since graders operate in dirt, moisture, vibration, and abrasive conditions, even a simple shim benefits from dimensional consistency and surface protection. A badly finished shim can deform, corrode, or create uneven contact over time, which may lead to inaccurate assembly height or increased wear in nearby components.

Why this shim matters in grader performance

A grader’s productivity depends on the precision of its blade support structure. The drawbar is one of the most important working zones in that system. Because public parts references place 2327000140, 232-70-00140 SHIM KOMATSU in the drawbar assembly, it is reasonable to say that this part helps preserve the intended fit and spacing of connected drawbar components.

When a shim is worn, missing, bent, or replaced with an incorrect thickness, the result may be more than a minor fit issue. The machine can develop uneven contact in the assembly, increased vibration, inconsistent blade response, or accelerated wear in adjacent parts. These outcomes are standard mechanical consequences of poor spacing control in structural assemblies and are especially important in grader applications where accuracy matters every day on the jobsite.

Compatible KOMATSU models

Public catalog references associate 2327000140, 232-70-00140 SHIM KOMATSU with the following Komatsu grader families:

Publicly referenced model families

GD500R, GD505A, GD521A, GD605A, GD611A, GD621A, GD621R, GD623A, GD625A, GD661A, and GD663A.

Publicly visible examples with serial references

GD500R-2A S/N 20028-UP and GD621R-1 S/N 10001-UP are directly shown with this shim assembly in drawbar sections.

Because Komatsu applications can vary by serial number, regional build, and equipment configuration, the safest purchasing method is to verify the machine model and serial number before ordering. That is especially important for drawbar-related items where thickness and fitment can affect assembly setup. This caution is based on the serial-specific way the public parts catalogs present the part.

Product Description

The 2327000140, 232-70-00140 SHIM KOMATSU is a drawbar shim assembly used in selected Komatsu GD-series motor graders. Public parts references identify this part as SHIM ASS’Y and connect it with drawbar applications across several grader families, including GD500R, GD505A, GD521A, GD605A, GD611A, GD621A, GD621R, GD623A, GD625A, GD661A, and GD663A.

Based on the supplied product images, this shim features a square plate profile with a large center opening and four outer mounting holes, making it suitable for controlled spacing, alignment correction, and stable positioning in drawbar assemblies. For graders, this kind of component helps preserve the intended relation between connected support parts and contributes to accurate machine setup during maintenance and rebuild work.

Weight

I could not find a reliable public source that states the exact weight for 2327000140, 232-70-00140 SHIM KOMATSU. One public marketplace-style parts page lists the weight field as unavailable, so I do not want to invent a number.

Weight

Not reliably published in the sources reviewed

For your live product page, the safest approach is to mark the weight as “Weight on request” unless you have a warehouse measurement. Since this is a flat shim assembly, the actual shipping weight should be easy to confirm with one physical measurement before publishing.
