Please join us at the SAHC Community farm for a small engine workshop. 

We will host a classroom presentation and discussion followed by hands-on engine maintenance and repair work to help you feel empowered to tackle your own equipment issues and keep machines running better for years. 

During the workshop, we will have a 55 hp tractor, two-wheel walk behind, Mule side-by-side and smaller engines on-site to reference. 

Learn how to save time and money by doing your own repairs on small engines like lawn mowers and other small machinery. Diagnose and repair common problems with 2 and 4-stroke engines. Avoid costly repairs by learning maintenance, proper fluids, and appropriate settings to promote long lasting use.  We will also facilitate a short discussion on the pros and cons of battery powered equipment and take a look at an electric lawnmower, weed eater and chainsaw.

 

Pre-registration is required. Farm workshop fee is $20; no one turned away for inability to pay.
