Frankly, being a Ford guy, I was unaware that lift pins frequently broke on MF utility tractors. This is not an issue on similar sized Fords and the MF pin is substantially larger than is the lift pin on such Fords.
Being an engineer, with experience in design and failure analysis, I expected that the MF rep would agree that the failure was caused by a latent manufacturing defect and simply cover it. (The dealer service rep told me that it was not unusual for MF to cover at least some of the expense in similar situations.)
Had the MF service rep (indirectly, through the dealer service rep) not told me that he needed the tractor brought to a MF dealer and disassembled so that he could inspect it before deciding if it would be covered under warranty, I would certainly have repaired it myself.
