Don't feed them cat food. They will hunt.

Actually, well fed cats hunt and kill more small animals than cats that need to hunt. I guess they must get bored.

Use mothballs mice don’t like the smell. Told to do this RV generator since I have done it mice don’t make any nests or chew wiring. Also was told pure abstract 90% peppermint sprayed on parts will keep mice away. Naturally I use cab fresh in tractor cabs and cars in storage mice stay away. If that does not work good old Tom cat works good too. I agree mice are a nuisance.

Went out to plow the bit of snow we got this morning. After about 20 minutes of plowing, I hit a bump and heard a brief scraping sound from under the hood. Soon after, I smelled glycol. There is a slow leak from the rad. It looks like the mice stored a bunch of hickory nuts around the radiator, and one must have hit the fan blade and then the rad.

Called the local Kubota dealer, $1600 for a new radiator!
A quick search of other dealers and they have similar pricing.
They said they weren't sure if it could be recored.

I haven't had a chance to take a close look at it, but I would think it could be repaired or recored.

Price of radiator only or price of installed radiator?

Thats funny. I accidently locked one in the shop and in a day he knocked over everything that could be knocked over and boy was he glad to get out of there.I was glad he was gone as well.

Yeah, OEM parts prices are hugely marked up.
Like a 10 cent part lists for $10.
OEM's have a standard scale for price mark ups that sounds crazy on most minor items but considering shipping, handling and discounts to the trades you get to understand their point of view.

As to your radiator, considering a typical PSI for coolant systems is about 10 PSI or so I'd sure trust a good epoxy repair.
Heck I had a fridge that we repaired with epoxy and 12 years later it still kept my beer chilled.
