What are some of the more heavy duty degreasers that work well. My Bobcat has literally handfuls of grease in some areas (pockets). It would take me a pallet full of Walmart spray cans of degreaser to get it clean.

engine degreaser and a pressure washer would be great if you have access to one.
Degreaser is even not needed when a good hotsy power washer is used..
anyone with heavy equipment should have one as a standard tool,blow a hose and spray oil all over the place,you'll wish you had one.

Paint thinner. Kerosene should should work OK.
Where is a good place to find someone who does steam cleaning? I use the coin -op places but use care so I don't end up stranded from moisture. I still think a 1 time steam cleaning would be best but those places that do it for others seem to have disappeared. Any thoughts?
I have a pressure washer, but not a hot water one.
Might want to read the manual on your pressure washer. Mine says I can use up to 140F water temp.
If it were me, and I've degreased a boatload of stuff in my life, I'd used a pressure washer first to get the bulk of the heavy crud off.
Then I'd soak the heck outta it with Purple Power and let it sit for 20 minutes to penetrate.
Then pressure wash it again.
Repeat till its all clean.

I got the adapter I needed and used the "Foam Blaster" (from HD) along with Foam Blaster cleaner. The thing goes in the end of a pressure washer wand. It says "thick clingy foam". I has expected the kind of foam (lather) one use to see on the Press shampoo commercial. I give the whole thing a "C" at best. It did not produce thick clingy foam and what it did produce did not clean very well.
I popped 2 pieces of the battery tray & spacer into the dishwasher and I must say its a darn good degreaser. However the engine is a little too big to fit into the dishwasher.

I talked to a guy at Green Earth Technologies and he said that the 1200 PSI from my electric pressure washer is too low. Wow a $25 investment off CraigsList out the window. Now to get my gas one running properly.

I got my gas pressure washer working, and the Foam Blaster worked better on cleaning the skidder. The foam was close to being "thick and clingy".
I'd check a commercial rental yard.

Forgot to add old-fashioned oven cleaner in my steam response. Very akaline. It will completely liquify grease. It will etch aluminum however and may remove some paints. If you truly have 'handfulls of grease', I'd use a putty knife to scrap those areas off first.

Why a putty knife? I have 2 hands and a drum of GooJo.
I am up to about 3 handfuls I have removed mainly in the corners.
