I know they make some killer small engines for various uses. Don't know about their mowers, though. They are using Honda engines, but I don't immediately recognize the deck as being someone else's. It kind of looks like some of the older Toros and Lawnboy M-series decks, though. Interesting. It does not appear that they are officially sold in the US, though. Did you import one yourself?

Here is a link that might be useful: Dolmar mowers

That looks like a nice mower. I use a commercial Dolmar trimmer and that sucker rocks.
They seem to be getting the attention they deserve for once.

Nice purchase, it should be a good mower.

Bought at thrift store,40.00 dollars. It is real good shape.The motor is a 2 stroke, and reads Sacks on the tag thanks Killer

It looks a lot like my Ariens 911088. I like it.

Wait a minute, you say its a two cycle. Does it have a model# anywhere on it?

The ones I was looking at were on the page that matt21 provided. They all had Honda four strokes on them. Yours must be older and even more interesting with the two banger on it.

Do you have any pictures killer? We would love to see some pics of the mystery machine.

I have never seen a Sachs-Dolmar mower but they made very good chain saws. Sachs sold the division to Makita in the late 80's so your mower is at least 20 years old.It is likely well built but parts could be an issue. Still, for fourty bucks, just run it until it drops.

Sachs-Dolmar is definitely known for it's 2-cycle engines. Before I ever knew of them as chainsaw makers, I heard about them as some of the most fearsome giant-scale model airplane engines. In the early giant-scale days in particular, there was nothing even close for power-to-weight. Your mower is a really interesting find!

It Sachs, not Sacks. Anyway....Made in Germany. They make good stuff. I have an old Sachs 2 cycle engine in my Amphicat six- wheeler. They were common in Snowmobiles too. It was probably brought over here by someone in the US military who was based in Germany. It's a good lawnmower but you might have to find parts on Ebay Germany if you ever need any. It's a 2-cycle engine so use a good synthetic 2-cycle oil to mix with the gas.

I even remember Sachs made motorcycles in the mid 1960's. I seem to recall their "biggest" was 125cc. They were trail and enduro types I think.

Sorry I am just getting back to you.My wife is the only one that knows how to post pics and she has been fighting kidney stones.

Maybe it has a Sachs rotary engine.

Sachs made a rotary (Wankel) engine lawnmower. If memory serves it was yellow.

Does anyone know where to locate a transmission for a S/P Sachs Dolmar lawnmower. I has a drive shaft through it and drive gears on either end held in place by a keper and a roll pin through the shaft on each end. I really like the mower and would like to find a new or used transmission if availaabel if anyone knows where one may be. I did talk briefly with a former sales manager for Sachs during the 80', a couple years ago but misplaced his name and phone number who had a few parts but then not what I needed. Also, I found another person who worked with the previous importer?distributor in Louisiana or Mississippi who said he had bought the remaining parts when the distributor went out business. I caught up with him but lost his name and number since. He worked at a hardware store in Louisiana or Mississippi with a name of Hoag or Hogg or Pig Hardware I associated the name with hog like the animal. If anyone can come up with a name like that on a hardware store in Louisiana or Mississippi please let me know. E-mail me at tkellybiz@yahoo.com. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.
