Why won't my tractor start?

Tried starting my Super A today, engine turned about a quarter turn and stopped!

Yep another reason I do not mind having the barn cats around the place. I almost never see a mouse and when I do it is in the chicken house
 
Those little critters stay busy. Almost any farmer who has a Deere Vac planter has a tale about the mouse nest that went through the fan the first time they ran it in the spring. When that happens nesting material and ground mouse hamburger has to be cleaned out of the screen.

Like Rich said, cats do have their place in this world. This spring I had no mice in the vac tubes of my Deere planter because of resident cats in the machine shed. There wasn't even mouse stink. Jim
 
I had that problem a few years ago on my garden tractor when I noticed my tractor was overheating. I found this under the fan shroud. I don't keep any cleaning rags out in the open anymore. Hal
PS: Picture won't post.
 
There's enough wool there to knit a nice sweater for a hard working cat!.... hey if the rear seal is leaking...this stuff will soak it up! Sound like a couple options here...
The old fergies had a tin plate to keep them out, depends on if the engineers/designers thought of these guys when still at the drawing board... but then, a tractor used everyday wouldn't be a good hiding spot.
How'd you get it all out of there? coathanger?
