Thanks

I use that orange engine brite and let it soak a bit - then hose it off and hit it with some finish 2001 (or something similar) on the rubber parts (not the belts).

Steam cleaning works great if you find someone to do it. Other wise get your self some engine cleaner (i too like Engine Brite, i like the foamy stuff) , then a garden hose with low pressure and rinse off, some areas may need a little help or a 2nd cleaning
