Our Simplicity lawn tractor started smoking and revving super high. We replaced the radiator hose since that had a burn hole in it. Started the engine, and antifreeze spewed out of exhaust.

We are trying to figure out where its leaking so we can fix it.

Any ideas?

Thank you!

Thank you. That is what we were thinking.
We ordered that from Parts tree.com and they sent a crankcase gasket. So we will call them and get replaced.

I would do a compression test before any tear down. And a leak down test if you can.
