Beautiful, thank you. We're in the process of building a garage so we'll have a place to work. I think my son and I might take a (very careful) crack at this and we have a friendly neighbor who seems to have every type of tractor and tool under the sun. I'm sure he'll keep an eye on us. Once the head is off I'll have to take it to a machine shop to check for a warp?That kit would work, but that is for rebuilding the engine. You need at least the head gasket and valve cover gasket, but here is the kit for the head

Last year when it briefly ran higher temp than normal, I added coolant AND changed the oil but didn't catch it to examine...but was suspicious. Since then and a week ago when I changed oil and caught it (not overheating but coolant was low again) I ran it for ten hours, light duty, and got away with it. Unless you guys say I'm mental I'm going to use it a little bit and carefully watch the TEMP before I get to this.
