Instructions stolen from a shampoo bottle, lather, rinse, repeat. I usually do a first session 'plain' to get all the loose material off. Then come back later with your degreasing solution. Spray it on and let it work for 5 minutes or so. (i.e. follow the mfg. instructions for whatever you've got) Then stop and take a good look and you'll see all the places you missed... you may have to move the tractor to get a better angle on the rims, turn the front wheels to the other side, raise or lower the 3 point etc.. Repeat until clean. Remember you probably can't get it ALL with the pressure washer. At some point, you will need to add elbow grease. Also be sure to protect/avoid sensitive components like voltage regulators, insturments, openings to seals, breathers, etc.... and NEVER pressure wash a diesel engine when it's still warm. As far as a degreaser, Gunk seems to work about as well as anything else I've tried. Watch your eyes. -- bb
