Yes, the hardest part of the cleaning was finding the kerosene anywhere near me. It had been so long since I bought any I didn't realize how little it is used now days.
I wish I knew the terrycloth idea before hand. While the stiff bristle brush worked well, I came back in the house looking like I showered in the grease. So evidently I am just as clumsy as you Badbob. The Nitrile gloves were a good tip too. Of course when I took them off, my hands were the only thing not gunk splattered.
After reading the post on lubing the chain I did use the towel idea soaked in oil to oil the chain. Which made it very easy.
Thanks again for all the tips!
