I mowed about 4 acres on Saturday with no problem. Sunday morning I went out, fueled up checked the fluids and started mowing again. I mowed for about 10 minutes when it felt like I was loosing power. When I stopped and reduced the throttle there was a lot of smoke coming from the exhaust and a lot of blowby from the oil filler. It also looked as though there was smoke coming from around the area of the spark plugs (not likely but it looked that way). Closer inspection showed very small bubbles in the area where the head mates to the block. I took it to the shed and when I idled it down the exhaust looked like an insect fogger. There was no water coming from the radiator overflow at this time. I shut it off to let it cool and about 10 or so minutes later there was a sound like a trian whistle. It was caused by steam pouring out of the radiator overflow under a good deal of pressure. I haven't investigated further but at this point I'm thinking head gasket or worse. Anyone else have any ideas? By the way, its a 1950 TO-20.

With the variety of things it could be eg. blown gasket, cracked head, cracked cylinder, cracked block, odds are it's a head gasket.
