Looking for a pair of 5016-2 Grove axles. These are the "Type 2" mounting pattern with the 1/4" holes. Grove does not know when they'll be back on their production schedule, I'm hoping someone has a pair laying around they can part with.
Thanks,

Thanks, I ordered a set from Grove back in January, they still haven't delivered. They told me they aren't sure when they'll have time to make them. Was hoping to find a set sooner.

I would be interested to hear if there is a weight difference from the stock axles. If they are lighter AND stronger it would be a double win!

Certificate of Conformance for all materials and processes used and also dimensional inspection records. I got mine approved via a 8110 from a DER and this documentation will meet the verification of part fabrication quality as a Owner Produced Part outlined within the 8110 approval

Interesting, thanks. Did they charge you any extra for the paperwork?
