Diesel push mower?

The original subject was "Diesel push mower?".

In 2000, Lawnboy made a 2 stroke diesel lawnmower. It was only made for one year. Would run on either diesel or gas/oil mix. Mine is now 13 years old and on its third set of wheels. It uses a very heavy, thick 22 inch blade and was almost unstopable. It smoked for about a minute when first started and its RPM was low compaired to a gas engine but the torque was high. Wish I had bought two of them. One to will to my grand kids.
 
That's interesting. I've seen little one cylinder diesel air compressors and generators but never a diesel push mower. Jim
 
thats one i missed, so it cutts on its torque, not rpm, how heavy is the mower? self proppeled? is the engine a lawnboy design or another brand? how about a picture? how hard is it to start?
 
They have made diesel push mowers since the 1950's
or earlier.Most are not sold in the US because of the epa.
