Head gasket made it today so I nailed it back together & threw the battery charger on it. Was a little finicky but it fired up. Ran it down the road to Mom & Dad's to try the mower & it seemed okay, they didn't really have any thick grass I could hit. The brakes are about non existent, and the steering is super loose (appears almost all the freeplay is in the column). I think I may try the mower a bit more tomorrow & then try to look at the brakes & steering this weekend.
