Have mowed the grass a couple times, the good news is that it no longer seems to over heat at shut down. I am going to do an oil change again since I did the head gasket. But now it wants to back fire on shut down, which I think is just due to the fact is has the auto choke and throttle. Once it gets warmed up it cuts grass great but its getting it warmed up you have to take it easy with it. If I had it to do over I think I would look at the commercial deere line or get a honda powered push mower with a choke, primer bulb and throttle lever. But hind sight is always 20 20.. This is paid for and does work. Now..
