I'll be adding some Wiring Diagrams on how I upgraded the Wiring, install a Solenoid and 7 Post Key Switch soon..
I found a great $399 deal at eBay for a Briggs and Stratton Single Cylinder Intek 21 HP engine..
I upgraded from the 10HP Tecumseh I bought new in the 90s
The Tecumseh is still runs very well but I could not pass up a new Intek for $399 and free shipping
I also upgraded my old old tires from the 9" fronts and 16" rears to 11" and 18"
I have all the images at this link and will post a few here..

With the bigger tires it handles the bumps better and I have not taken engine up to 3600 rpm yet but I cut in 2nd and not really concerned with speed..
It has way more power but I have not tested it on tall grass yet.. I have been too busy cutting the grass twice a week to play with my new toy..
I did have to bend the gas tank mount forward a few degrees to get it to clear the air cleaner..
I also needed to add few washers on bottom of king pins for the over size front wheels to clear when making sharp turns
I added a solenoid to the start wiring as it just have the original push switch.. I also have a hour meter I am adding..
When I get time to add the hour meter I'll take more photos and draw up a wiring diagram..
