Simple question what do you use

How do you guys clean your larger parts..Tranfer cases trannys..to get the heavy stuff off a scraper obviously but what about using solvents..there too big for the parts washer..what about a kiddie pool..maybe a large plastic tote..but of solvent and brush away..any ideas

Probably better, but I have used engine brite and a dish brush. The pressure washer really helps too..large plastic totes for soaking.

Ya pressure washers not really an option here in the winter haha

I have used my cherry picker to lower my transmission down into the parts washer to keep the weight off, and washed mine that way.

Degreaser and a bunch of elbow grease with an assortment of wire brushes and Dremel. It's a blast

In the Winter I take whatever large parts to the local car wash on a flat bed trailer. They use very hot water. It may have water left on it, but when it gets in the heated garage it melts and gets blown off with an air hose. In Summer it's done in my driveway with a pressure washer.

If the tranny or motor is coming apart, it goes to a pressure washer first.

Every part on the engine......and the trans & transfer case.......got cleaned this past summer during my engine replacement project. Basically, everything got scraped & wire-brushed for the heavy stuff.....Castrol Super-clean & even GoJo for degreasers. For a final cleaning, I used an assortment of plastic-bristled brushes and a mixture of dish soap & water. Used the chain-hoist to raise the T-18a up on the sawhorses.

I do believe the Jeep weighs about 50 pounds less now than it did in May.......from dirt/gunk loss.
