Tractor Cleaning Tip

Tractor Cleaning Tip FARM SHOP Handy Hints 34-2-37 "I always wash my tractors and equipment before parking them for the winter. But this year, I did it a little differently. "I bought a 2-gal. industrial hand pump sprayer (from Gemplers) that's designed for spraying degreasers and solvents. Then, I dumped in 1 gal. of water along with 1 gal. of Citrol, which is a degreaser sold by Schaeffers Lubricants. I sprayed the mixture on my tractors wherever there was grease and grime. "Doing it this way was much more economical than using spray can degreasers and I didn't have to deal with all the empty spray cans. After the solution had a chance to soak in for 15 to 20 min., I just sprayed it off with water and it dried with no oily residue. A 2-gal. container of the mix was enough to presoak several tractors."
