Thanks Spencer, I think I actually have some Red Devil lye in the
shop, from when I tried electrolysis on a rusty part.<br>

<div>You can make your own simple green/purple power using lye and
water. That’s basically all those products are, then dyed
different colors for branding. Plus you can make it stronger or
weaker as needed. Robeic(sp???) has a product that is 100% lye
granulates and it is widely available at Lowe’s and tractor
supply. Red Devil is the old standby, but I find it’s
availability spotty.</div>

<div>Recipes for various strengths and safe mixing instructions
are widely available on the Internet. Lye is no joke, so use
splash proof goggles and rubber gloves for the mixing. <br>

You might try going to the Simple Green website and ask

You can get it in a spray bottle as well as

Hi all,<br>
I have a few pieces of equipment, namely
a 72" finish mower and a<br>
brush hog that tend to blow grease out of
the vent creating a mess. I'd<br>
like to power wash them, and fill the box
with 00 grease (these machines<br>
owe me nothing). Problem is that I do not
believe the power washer alone<br>
will do it. Any recommendations for what I
could pre-treat the greasy<br>
areas with so the power washer can do a
better job. I'm also looking for<br>
something similar to what you find in
quarter car washes using the<br>
"pre-soak" selection, it kind of dissolves
the dirt, so it rinses away<br>
easier. My tractor sat over the winter in
a stall adjacent to our<br>
chicken coop, and it's so dusty, it's hard
to even determine what color<br>
it is.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Mike M<br>
