I found a large mouse nest under the panel insert(tach, temp, fuel)on my B1700 dash which I cleaned out. Noticed that the mice had chewed through a black electrical box on the left side of the space ,below the panel, when sitting on the seat.
The black box has 3 wires leading to it. Red,green and black as I recall. Also exposed in the black box was a spool of copper wire. Does anyone know what this box is for? The tractor seems to run o.k. Any ideas on how to keep mice out of this space?
thanks

Sounds like you need to operate that tractor a little bit more to keep rodents away. You could put down boxes of Decon around the tractor which is mouse/rat poison! I would think that the black box your talking about is the wireing harness.
