Hello,

Excuse me for not checking the archives before posting...but...is there anything better than diesel feul for loosning up 65 years of caked on grease mixed with dirt? Im restoring a 1937 Cletrac that had a front seal leak and has grease caked in very hard to reach places on the tracks. Im sure I could fill a 5 gallon bucket with what I have scraped off thus far. This tractor sat for nearly 40 years in a shed and the grease is very hard. Engine Bright barely touched it and Ive used a steamer/pressure washer with de-greaser with little progress. Worth note is that I dont want to lose too much of whats left of the original paint. Diesel fuel has softened it up but I guess Im looking for the golden bullet.

Thanks,

Steve

A product called "Super Clean" by Castrol works pretty good. Let it soak and penitrate to get better results.

A product called "Super Clean" by Castrol works pretty good. Is easy on the paint and plastic/rubber parts too.
