Default 149, mouse nest under flywheel cover

I'm sure it has been asked before but searching didn't turn anything up. Over the winter mice built a nest under the flywheel cover on my 149. Is the cover removeable without removing the engine from the tractor? Any other suggestions for cleaning the mess out?

All set on this one. I'm a bit rusty, once I remembered which way the air flowed... I was able to take the covers off top of the engine and pull/vacuum/blow air from the flywheel end to clean things out. Will have to try the mothballs next time the tractors are going to be sitting for extended periods. Now to figure out why the engine will only rev to about 2000 rpm when using the throttle. Looks like the throttle lever isn't moving the cable after half way.

Is the cable sheathing attached firmly on both ends? Especially the carburetor end. If the sheathing moves, the cable doesn't work properly.

Hadn't had a chance to update yet... You nailed it Billy-O, the clamp on the carb end of the cable was missing the "clamp" piece which is allowing the sheathing to slide instead of the cable. I might have a spare but if not I will have to source one.

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.
