Many years ago I got stuck painting tractors at the dealership. We used a steam cleaner running a caustic powdered solution along with the steam. It was tough breathing the fumes but I survived. Hoods off first of all, steam and steam some more. Shut it down, scrape and scrub all the spots you missed or could not get clean. Steam clean again. Knock off any loose or bad looking pain on chassis. Sand the hoods and gas tanks etc. Mask off steering wheel, sediment bowl, lights, all serial number plates and model number plates on generator, starter etc, pull off dist cap and wires and mask exposed end of distributor, cover spark plugs.
