What ever it takes...keep 'um out your tractor. Neighbor with a new L39 had just used it in the morning, then took off for the day...the other neighbor saw smoke coming from his tractor/carport and saw a fire in his control/gauge area....ran back to the house and got his fire extinguisher and put out the fire....within maybe 15 minutes the fire had consumed the control panel, seat, shade top, and all the paint off the rear of the tractor.....
Kubota dealer determined mice had built a nest in the control panel, then proceeded to chew up the wiring, then caught fire. Homeowners paid the 10K to the Kubota dealer to fix it...it had 139 hours on the tractor.

Keep those critters out.
Maybe 2 lessons here...a big battery shut-off switch
put the tractor on your homeowners policy ,
and keep the critters out.
I guess that's 3

In my area we have a pack rat problem, $3,000- damage to the wifes Passat.
After that I went to Tom Cat brand bait stations, lots of them. The 4 dogs and cat can't get into it and the problem slowed way down.

I had the same problem in my barn and tryed most everything.. What I found worked the best was an electronic mouse device,,, Just plug it in !! I haven't seen any signs of mice or red squirls sence..

I have had multiple nests in my B7510 air cleaner...Just can't keep them out of there:mad:....Tried repelent all around where I park the tractor, ( an portable garage) with a gravel base....then when I did my alternator install a month ago, I found the mother load nest under the dash!!! Took forever to get the smell out of there....

Now I use bait/killer/poison all around the machine on the ground and MINT mice repelents ...2 are secured under the hood, near the battery, and another under the dash...They need replacement probably every month or 2, but seem to be working...
