sure tell I'm the rookie.. last 3 post questions are mine. I took the case 1816 through car wash when bought it.. but now that I got the engine out for replacing- and I got the operators floor out to take battery out.. The whole well area as well as down low under hyro stuff is 'years' of grease/dirt/ and who knows what else. I bet the dried grease is 1/4" thick covering total bottom. And not easy to really get at well. How do I go about cleaning this? I know I can get a lot with putty knife but really would like a 'good' cleaning as I might paint this summer. Do I get the new power plant in and running then transport it somewhere? if so.. who can clean these things up with so much grease and dirt? The outside isn't bad but just lower inside areas.
