Scrape off all you can of the heavy stuff. http://www.ehow.com/way_5434198_homemade-engine-degreaser.html
The kerosene mix works very well on heavy grease. Spray it on, let it sit, brush and wipe it off, repeat. Dawn dishwashing soap works well with kerosense. Buy big bottles of it from Sam's/Costco etc. It works best when things are warm of course. Aim a space heater at the machine for a while and get it up to 80-90 degrees then spray it on and things will go much faster. I've used that solution for years to clean up dirty engines. A cheap pump up tank sprayer such as used for weeds etc works fine.
