Nope I gots Cats. I sometimes get mad at them for leaving paw prints all over my freshly washed windshields and knocking stuff of the shelves in the tractor shed. But I haven't had mouse chewed interiors in a long time. there is usually a cat sleeping in the tractor seat that needs evicting before I can take the tractor out.

When I bought my first D-14, Troy, in 2000..the bell housing was FULL of 'mouse house'. I mean JAMMED packed !! The starter was so full it wouldn't spin by hand !!!
I'm thinking the missing bottom, circular cover plate 'might' have had something to do with it..... get a LOT of mouse traps and make them more inviting than you tractors. I hear Bounce sheets are good mouse repellants,can you stick a few in there? |

The mice nested in the box of bounce sheets in my camper. Moth balls didn't work. Those electronic pest repellents didn't work. If your customers tractor comes in full of mouse house nothing you do at your shop is going to help. If used Tom Cat bait stations it kills them then you windup finding dead mice in the hardest place to remove them from. Lots of mouse traps or cats are them only way. At the farm we put several traps in each piece of equipment in the fall when we store them. One of the other guys spread an hour every day emptying and resetting traps. The farm cats can't get in the tractors,trucks or combines so the mice get in to hide. It usually takes a month of trapping mice every day till we don't catch any more. Since doing that we haven't had to rewrre or recover any seats.

My son left for the Air Force last summer. Moved his Ranger yesterday and discovered a smell when I turned on the blower. Found a nest pooled with urine and what not under the air filter......

And it seems like mouse whizz is a better corrosive, than battry acid! Instant rust, where it hits! One time I was splittin a MF turf 20, that hadda tranny input seal leakin. Hadn't been run in a while, and them stingin bumbly bees had moved into the mouse nest, only found them, when I split her!

They also like to go thru the 2 clutch housing vents in top of housing. About 3/4" x 1 1/2" holes just above flywheel, I use a bit of steel wool held in with super glue to plug them when fixing the starter or clutch problems.
