How do you clean up an old mess???

[Bailey 0]

Just picked up a couple tractors this weekend. Both are dirty, but one has been in a barn, by a hay mound for several years. It has a very thick layer of barn dust on EVERYTHING. Don't have a pressure-washer, and I'd hesitate to use one if I did. What do you guys do when you start with something like this? Do you just soap and hose it with a brush? Do you cover/protect anything or just soak the whole mess?

I usually swing by the local car wash on the way home ...

Pictures???? Andy, you are teasing us, pictures please. After you take pictures, take em to the car wash!. At home I spray Lestoil on and then hose them down with hot water. It works pretty well except on hard packed grease. John U

I found Rubbermaid degrease at Menard's I spray it on with a squirt bottle let it set a couple min.and spray it off with the garden hose. It works better then the purple stuff. It's only $4.95 a gal.
