quick check for a blown head gasket is to start it, and let it warm up/operating temperature, shut it down, and pull the dipstick, if you get whisps of smoke from the tube, most likely the head gasket is blown.

They were a good little mower and a head gasket is not expensive nor difficult to replace .
