Oil & Fuel Cleaning tractor motor

Daaaannnnnggg Jay4200, seems like a lot of poison your dumping on the ground all at once?

Oh, you have no idea...

You should see me when the dirt shrews come around.

Since you live in Maine, do not make the mistake I did on my first one and let it freeze up at the end of the season. You need to keep it in a warm garage or the basement or it will be trashed the first time the temp drops.

Good point. Thanks.

I would like advice on how I can clean my tractor motor. It's a 1994 Kubota B20 that has never been cleaned and there is a ton of build up on the motor. What is the best way to get 20 years of grease and dirt of the motor without damaging anything?

Mine has closer to 30 years worth. I don't want all that going into my soil, so This spring I'm putting it on the trailer and hauling it to a car wash which has an engine degreaser option.

There are several types of cleaning solution you can get at any parts store. Just stick the small hose into the cleaning solution and hook up the air line. Keeps the mess down considerably."

I'll have to try this first. I can sweep it up afterwards, and it should help those brush piles burn.
