I know it's a bit off topic, but it IS diesel related.
As some people know, I recently purchased a diesel tractor with brush hog to mow my entire property. Well, the purchase of this thing has created another need. I am in need of a push mower to take care of the "detail" work.
Well, I had a brainstorm. I've spent the better part of two days looking for vertical shaft, recoil start, air cooled, single cylinder diesel engines. I finally found a maker this evening - Deutz Diesel. Now, if the price is right, I will be looking for an old push mower with a dead gasser engine to toss and replace with one of these beauts!!
Yes, I'm looking into the possibility of building a DIESEL PUSH MOWER!!! I think that I'm getting just a *little* obsessed!
