[AT] How do you clean your tractors?

[Duncan Denman]

Hi Al,

The sad thing about this hobby is that as soon as you finish restoring 
something and making it factory fresh,
it starts to deteriorate again!
Having said that, just try to keep ahead of the dirt by washing it with 
soap and water and a pressure washer for tough stuff.
I keep pressure washers away from sensitive stuff like magnetos etc.
