Mice !!!
How does everyone keep the mice out of your Mag engines? I have 2 Cubs that I am afraid to use till I get all the nest parts out. I have a another one that I want to keep clean. I thought about just putting some d-con under the hood of each one. Any other suggestions?

I haven't had any issues with mice on Cubs I own BUT the last 1811 I bought had the worst nest I've ever seen. I pulled no less than 4 dead mice out of that thing along with generations of bedding and housing.

Decon, ramekin mouse poison and traps. Be careful using the poison if you have dogs and cats around. I hate mice destructive little devils! Had one chew a wire in a wiring harness on an old truck one time left me stranded 50 miles from home! One day and $150 towing bill I fixed it. Funny though the engine in my 1211 came from a jd mower the engine was rebuilt someone cobbled up the wires never got it running for long and parked it. It sat out for 10 yrs with the hood on it I stripped all the jd crap off an put it in my 1211 runs like a top uses no oil doesn't smoke and has original points the mice never did nest in or on it! I was surprised. Guess u could get a bunch of cats! Lol

I talked to some old timers and have used their technique with great results. They said get an old pair of hose, the knee-high ones will be just fine and put some garlic and moth balls in it, then tie off the end. Place on the engine or where ever you have a mouse problem and they will stay away. Don't ask me why this works....maybe they are vampire mice or moth mice
 , but has always worked for me. WARNING: Remove the pantyhose before starting your cub or if that heats up you may not want to be around your cub for a while...Cub Cadet 123

This was the mouse condo in a 2165. They also ate the spark plug wire. I hate mice.

Awwwwww, them mice are cute.
My cubbies are in my garage. & never outside. Years ago I started to have about 3 to 6 traps set up in the fall when they are seeking warmth. But now I keep them baited all year long, refreshing the peanut butter once a month. Why take a chance? Caught 2 this last fall & so far so good. NIK,

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
