Well, I got her all welded up and put back together. It seems 200 percent better. I should have snapped a few pics but I was kinda in a hurry. I got pretty sick of doing a few tacks then waiting, then repeating. I wrapped a wet rag around the linkage then cut a slit in one of my old leather welding jackets and slid it over the unit for extra precaution. I do need to adjust the linkage a bit as it wants to go in reverse a bit when I let off the brake but it is safe for me to use now. It doesn't want to fly forward when I brake now, haha! It was pretty scarry there for awhile. I can actualy get into some tight places when mowing now instead of being scarred I was going to crash into stuff. I'm new to these beasts but am learning very quickly to work on them. Thanks to all that gave me advise as it helped greatly.
