look up mower racing.
There will be a groups of "weirdos" somewhere near you.
Get some one to take you to the meeting and take photos.
Note which makes & models they are using, cause that is what you are looking for.
Provided that the mower has not blown up bewen heats most will happily point you towards all sorts of things that you can do to get a bit more out of any mower.

Just remember they are very basic engines so flywheels, crankshafts pistons & con rods have an aversion to doing much over 5000 rpm.
It is very expensive to get them spinning much faster
Look for a mower with a horizontal shaft engine that you could replace with a small motorcycle engine.
For your purpose that will work well.
Or go down the cart route and get a chain drive mower and couple it directly to the motorcycle gearbox sprocket.

Transmission
The hydrostatic transmission is sealed at the factory
and is maintenance free. The fluid level cannot be
checked nor can the oil be changed.

above is quoted in the service manual

im not doughting your knowelege in any way, but i was reading that there is a fill nozzle that you can unscrew and fill up, and people have had whining hysro transmissions and they change it, and it completely stops the whining
