Unofficial Home of Old Simplicity & Allis-Chalmers Garden Tractors

How do you clean up an old mess???

Recommended Posts

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?

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.

      Site programming updates were made 3/23/2024. As a result some things have changed including dues payment options. We will continue maintenance and work with technicians to regain credit card payment option and clear up minor challenges. On positive it appears attaching pictures is now easier. Good day. Gene
