1450 Engine Cleaning.....Question
Morning all, I'm a newbie here with my first CC 1450 Tractor passed down to me from my grandfather. It has been sitting in the garage for a good amount of time ( Atleast 7 Years, last started 2 Years ago). I was wondering if it is possible to clean the exterior portion of the engine? It has some dust and dirt build of from sitting over the years, and was curious what is the best solution to clean/ wash the engine if possible?

When ever I get a new tractor I pull the side covers and the tunnel cover and spray everything down real good with degreaser and then hit it with the pressure washer, its so much nicer working on a tractor that isn't covered in gunk.

Yeah I definitely agree, that's what I normally do with my vehicles too, just wanted to make sure the same principle applies here. Definitely covering up the electrical components so they do not get wet.

Agree and I'd also used compressed air to blow water out of nooks and crannies. I use either a garden hose from the hot water heater or a hose from the hot water heater to the pressure washer. The former works much better.

simple green full strength works real good, as does brake parts cleaner;it will eat paint off and keep away from wires..

Yeah I wouldn't use a pressure washer, just don't wanna blow nothing apart. I'll grab some simple green, and I like the idea of the hot water from the water heater. That's a smart idea right there.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
