We do not recommend using a garden hose or pressure 
washer to clean your tractor unless the engine and trans-
mission are covered to keep water out.  Water in engine or 
transmission will shorten the useful life of your tractor.  Use 
compressed air or a leaf blower to remove grass, leaves 
and trash from tractor and mower.
