    Pressure washing a Hardinge DV 59

    What do you guy's think about pressure washing a marshmallow white dirty Hardinge DV 59 ? I just bought this to make some parts for my self , it has been repainted once with what looks like white wash, every thing looks fine just not taken care of. I believe everything is sealed but the electrical box witch can be sealed, it would save me hours of cleaning, went to buy some cleaning solvent and found it not available, am here in Reno and everything evaporates so fast, I was a car painter in the 50s can't seem to buy the things I know how to use. What do you think . Deane

    only if you plan to completely tear down the machine to the bearings. Water ingress is bad
