Its an 81 1100 with the 700cc shibaura twin diesel.

Very nice. Looked like a later model with the loader.
My dad has a 1500. 19 hp 2 cylinder diesel. His grandpa bought it new in 1980. The 2nd photo is of the new cast grille (original was broken plastic) and painted weights.
My frankenmower. Lawnboy deck with Honda GCV 160. As you can see it’s up for cutting, mulching and shredding any time it’s asked.
2021 Craftsman M220, just finished using it to bag my leaves, blew off the dust and filled the tank with ethanol free premium fuel with Techron marine additive. Got it for free from a guy who couldn't get it to run, initially found water in the fuel tank, after cleaning it I still couldn't start it, ended up finding a bent pushrod, I think the guy I got it off of didn't properly diagnose water in the fuel system, and screwed with the intake rocker lash and torqued the nut all the way down which ended bending the pushrod because the valve spring was fully compressed before it reached max lift. So in the end I ended up with a $300 mower for like $30 in parts since I had to buy a pushrod, a head gasket and a new blade.
New to me snapper, made in 1994, it doesn't say but I believe it's a 3.75hp Briggs Sprint, oil in it was clean, filter looked new, it just made the worst squalling noise when I got it to start on brake cleaner, had to dump the bad gas and put some fresh in the tank, then I worked some grease down into the starter clutch and it seems to run fine now, it's surprisingly clean for a 28 year old mower, looks like someone used it and cared for it up until the starter clutch started hanging and making awful noises and left it sit.
I’m kicking this rather seasonal thread forward to this spring. Let’s see your lawnmower pics. 
Bought in January and patiently waited to use it!
We got a warm day back in March so I cleared all the leaves I couldn’t get too last year and may have gotten a bit stuck in some mud at one point.

Bought in Sears customer return I think about 13 years ago no issues a little duct tape couldn't repair. Did air filter , sparkplug and new blade last spring only because I never did. Change oil every spring just changed today and hit the blade with a metal file. Honda motor zero issues always starts one pull

Wonder if you could remove snow off surfaces with it ?
They do sell a snow plow for it
Those Case/Ingersoll machines are built like tanks.

It was a neat machine. That was a 1979 model year Case 220 I bought from it's original owner around 2008. I did some restoration to it and had it's 38" cutting deck over at a friend's shop to weld some patches onto it at the time I took that pic. I replaced all the deck spindle bearings, some hoses, etc.
I never got used to that hy-drive system. Mine was prior to the "runaway" valve on the hydraulics, so you would freewheel and pick up speed at an alarming rate down hills if you didn't jamb the ground speed lever back into "retard" mode, which would usually lock the rear wheels up for a bit.
You needed a football field to turnaround with that little thing too. A great mower in it's day. Terrible today IMO. I bought it at the time as a project and sold it within a year or two.
Just mowed the yard for the first time with this ol gal, picked her up off a guy over the winter, looks like the oil had been changed and the air filter replaced before they stopped using it last, the starter clutch was squaling when I got it so that's probably why they stopped using it, but it's a great little compact deck mower, almost 30 years old and still runs great, I guess these 3.75HP Briggs will run for ever.
