There's a thread on TBN discussing using stinky dryer sheets as mouse repellant for this reason. Plus with the heat generated by DPF systems on some tractors, it's possible for a mouse or bird's nest to cause a fire.

In New Zealand in bird season, if you don't pop the hood you are UNinsured. Birds aim for the turbo or exhaust manifold. There are burnt tractors every year, so the insurance companies said ENOUGH.

If it's worth a 50 to you, you can wrap it with the Honda rodent tape.

That was quite ahead of his time; it reminds me of the rubber tree plantation they were working on- only for synthetic rubber to come along.
My 1932 Chevrolet Confederate BA has the original spare tire, made with no rubber, or so it says on sidewall.

Terrible. I think I'll get a feral cat and make him a house next to the oil pan or something.

We keep two cats as pets. When I go to use my tractor I like seeing cat prints on the seat of the tractor, as well as my Honda SxS parked next to it.

Yep, and you ought to see what that looks like going 25MPH down the road.

Wow, I'm so sickened to see this. My 4820 lives indoors, but I did have a mouse make it inside once... Luckily the little **** was more interested in my wool insulated pillows for my hives.

What a mess!

I purchased a 5520 instead of the other brands because of less wiring due to the mechanical engine.
If it was one of the other brands you wouldn't have been able to drive it to a repair location.

Barn cats are great
