Re: Express Kit For Sale

I was lucky to get a Grove set before CAT folded. Last I was down at CAT, there was work being done to a CT with wing rib and gear plate replacement. Darrell showed me a change in the gear mount plates. If the cutout are right angle and not rounded, may want to consider having new plates made up wit...
