Stationary Engines

Stationary engines are an important part of agricultural history. After all, not all the belt work was done with tractors. These little (and sometimes no-so-little!) engines were used to power all sorts of machines, from washing machines to hay elevators. Luckily for us, many of these treasures have been preserved or lovingly restored and will be out in full force at the Mini Sappa Show. Among the lineup will be several engines running equipment like pumpjacks and grain grinders. Others will simply be happily chugging away in their unmistakable hit and miss style.
