[OT] Hotrodding a Murray lawn tractor?

[bronson@inwave.com (Nate Mellom)]

Collective,
The company I work for picked up a used (old) Murray lawn tractor.  It 
has a B&S 11 horse single cylinder motor, 5 speed tranny.  It was free, 
wouldn't run.  I got it running, and now I'm playing with it.  Besides a 
cool flame job (I love having HVLP and a spray booth!!), I'm looking to 
PLAY with the mower.  The mower deck is off, and I got it running pretty 
good, it needs an oil change, new air filter, spark plug and a jug of 
carb cleaner.  I"m looking to make it a hot rod, but I assume I'm pretty 
limited?  I can't afford to do anything drastic, so what can I do? 
 4-2-1 TT exhaust?  Methinks not.  Bigger cam?  Doubt it.  Audi throttle 
body?  Nope.
I'm having fun with it after work, I've been able to spin the rear tires 
in dirt and pop wheelies, it actually has some power!!  
We're thinking about putting a snow blade on it to.....
Any ideas?
