How do you clean your greasy loader pivots?

On the rare occasion I clean greased pivot points, I use a power washer with a Rotox nozzle. Not sure why but it doesn't splatter the grease as much as a standard nozzle. I still do it away from other equipment and wear old clothes though.

As I said on GTT, I clean the excess grease off of my tractor by wearing my best shirt near it.

It is guaranteed to work every time.
I immediately started laughing when I read your response as I can't count the times that I have turned a nice shirt into a work shirt by just doing something as simple as loading a roll of hay for someone on the way out somewhere, only to realize that I had brushed up against some grease off of the tractor or loader.

Every few years when there are big globs - I don nitrile gloves, grab a roll of paper towels and a wooden paint stir stick. The wooden stick scrapes the globs off without scratching the paint. It is also useful as a "ramrod" to push a wad of paper towels through tighter spaces. After the worst is off a spray of purple cleaner massaged with an old paint brush and a rinse.
