Mice

Floyd, Why, you must live in the country!! Us city folks don't have that problem. Course, a cat or two might help with the problem. Roy

Just a reminder, this is the time of year when the little mouse critters like to come in the buildings. Check those cooling fins and fan shrouds on those engines, it's a favorite place for them to make a nest, and it doesn't take them long! Floydster

Ho, what a subject. I had to pick up a used Monkey Wards 14 horse rider this spring so I could knock down the grass. When I got it home I pulled the engine heat shields, good thing because ALL the cooling fins were packed with grass and mouse #@$%. I then pulled the flywheel to clean the rust and a ten inch gardner snake dropped to the ground. That one caught me of gaurd.

Dana, You think you were caught off guard? You didn't find any mice? But, the snake looked well fed? Humm...........!

I don't seem to let mine stay idle long enough to let little critters take up residence. LOL I use mine year round. Maybe if I got a few mice to run along on my flywheel I could gain a few extra " mouse power " to help along with the high grass at times!!!!! LOL

You don't have to leave it idle for long to get infested with mice. I mowed my yard one weekend and the next weekend the B12 wouldn't fire. I found a mouse nest under the shroud and I think they have chewed up the magneto wires. Haven't and time to pull the engine yet.
