Stopped running. Turned to be a bent intake push rod and broken rocker arm
Removed head. Replaced both rocker arms, intake pus rod, push rod guide exhaust and head gaskets. Torqued head in 3 stages to 216 in/lbs. gapped intake to .004 and exhaust to .006 at TDC

Oil Drain Sleeve
I wish this was longer...it's only about 6", barely enough to have the oil flow past the metal plate of the riding lawnmower. I'm going to figure out a way to make a permanent extension something like this video would be SO much better https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G9ZVoeqr6R8&t=79s

upper transmission belt cracked bad
Removed battery, then battery hanger brackets.
Removed the tension spring from under side of seat. That was a little tuff to do. put a long phillips screw driver through transmission pulley.
put a 7/8 box wrench on pulley nut and removed it. took old belt off and installed new one. Reversed order of removal.
Getting the tension spring back into the bracket hole was a little tricky. I used a pair of long needle nose pliers to re install the spring.
cut my yard and I'm a happy camper !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gas leaking from tube breather
First I opened the top of the mower to expose the housing cover. Secondly I removed the four housing bolts to remove the housing cover from the mower. Next I removed the tube breather and installed the new tube breather and replaced the housing cover with the four bolts previously removed and closed the top of the mower. I filled the mower with gas to check for leaks which weren't any leaks. I proceeded to mow the lawn with ease.
