This site hosts a collection of documentation for the various engineering projects and initiatives under the Backyard Engineer umbrella — from renewable energy systems to automation projects, to preserving critical repair knowledge for important equipment.

⚡ Looking for Solectrac Tractor Service Information?

👉 **You can find all Solectrac service documents in this section.** [Troubleshooting Guides](/solectrac/troubleshooting-guides.md)

When Solectrac ceased operations, support for owners became limited.\
We've created a dedicated section here to preserve manuals, repair guides, and community resources to keep these electric tractors running strong.

(Feel free to explore — it's open to all!)
