BACKGROUND:
The unit was brought to the attention of the garage with grapple damage. Upon inspection, we
found the grapple assembly had several cracks. This grapple had been repaired on several
occasions within the past four years so the decision was made to replace it instead of performing
any additional repairs. The dealer was contacted regazding a replacement grapple assembly and
they provided us with the following quote:
