- Mahindra EX22 HIL
So my Father-in-law purchase a 2014 Mahindra EX22 HIL new in 2017 from the dealer. He only used it to blade his driveway and around the house for moving something. FFWD, he passed away in 2020 from COVID. The tractor has always been covered in a barn, has never been used in the rain much less in mud or anything else. I crank it every couple of months and it purrs like a kitten. A few weeks ago, I noticed an oily spot under the front left axle hub and it looked like the seal was leaking. I carried it back to the dealership to have it serviced and the seal replaced. Upon tearing it down they found the axle was FULL of WATER. The axle has never been opened or serviced. The Dealer suspects it may have been in a flood or hurricane while on the yard in Houston (odd he would suspect that, said he has seen it before). The tractor has a total of 89 hours on it. Dealer wants $4K in repairs. I tried calling Mahindra and got a quick run around. It is still under warranty for the Power train but it will not cover water damages.
Anybody have any recommendations?
