Blown Head Gasket
This was an OHV motor so in order to get to the head, you must remove the valve cover and remove the push rods. Remove all four head bolts in an even star pattern. Remove the old gasket and scrape all remaining gasket gunk. Put new gasket on and tighten head back on with an even star pattern. Slide push rods back in and adjust valves to .004 of an inch and put valve cover back on and start it up!

Lost wing knob and nut that holds the handle onto the mower
Can't do the repair. You sent me the two wing knobs I ordered, but no nuts. No one sells the nuts. I've driven all over trying to find them. Wasted my money and a lot of time. Zip ties are holding the handle on. I sent an email to customer service asking for the nuts, never heard a word from anyone. Another great example of how not to run a business.
