[Shotimes] (OT) hot rod project

[van Oss]

(OT)   Our lawn tractor's 16-year-old engine gave up the ghost (rings). 
Rather than horse around with a rebuild, we bought a brand-new B&S engine on 
eBay ($360 delivered here in 30 hours).  Bolt-on job except for an exhaust 
mod because the new engine is OHV so the exhaust port is on the opposite 
side.  (Seems like a moment for a turbo but alas no kits.)

Stepped up from 13 HP to 17.5 HP.  Mows like the dickens.

Mower also needs a new seat.  Thinking Recaro...   : )
