Ran it last weekend and she ran fine.The one thing I can't find in the booklet is what kind of a soap substance you use to say clean off the grimey stuff on my old Oliver tractor for instance. Do you just use ol tide washing detergent or maybe some dish soap? | | | | | Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall | | Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 | Simple Green or purple power....even kerosene and of course a putty knife.
(for your tractor can you haul it to a big truck wash place and let them Steam clean it?) | | | | | Joined: Nov 1995 Posts: 5,714 62401 | | 62401 Joined: Nov 1995 Posts: 5,714 | For dish soap, I prefer Dawn or Spic and Span for degreasing (they seem to have better degreasing ability than any of the others).

Even better if the parts your going to be cleaning are warm. If you're going to be doing something like an engine block or engine bay in the truck, let it run at idle for a while and get good and toasty, spray it on and let it soak for a while, then get busy with the pressure washer. | | |
