[Farmall] rats + clutch = big mess

[Andy glines]

I don't think that I have ever seen an I-20.  I would
love to see some pics if you have them.  I will assume
that the clutch and housing are the same as am F-20. 
Mice have found their way into my clutch a couple of
times.  You need to block the timing hole in the
housing.  I found that the cap off of a 1 qt oil
bottle fits perfectly.  Use a red cap and no one will
notice that it is there.
