I was doing some work on the T34 last night and removed the back cover from the tank 
and what did I see?  The rear engine compartment was completely stuffed with little 
balls of fiberglass insulation!  It seems some enterprising little critter had 
alternative plans for my pride and joy.  Luckily no one had moved in yet which would 
have required a somewhat nasty eviction (I guess the homestead was waiting for a use 
and occupancy permit).  The back access panel had a small 1" x 1" hole where my old 
power switch was mounted which apparently proved very inviting to your average field 
mouse.  A couple of control wires were chewed through to the conductor but otherwise 
no major damage.

So for those of you storing your tanks in a somewhat mouse porous location such as 
my work shop, take heed my little story!
