B&S 16 hp engine replacement, go 18? or 22?

I have a 1641 with a 16HP B&S engine # 303447-1147. I got this for almost nothing as it had been left out and water was in the cylinders. It was also blowing oil all over the place. I am thinking of replacing the engine instead of rebuilting. Has anyone replace with the higher HP engines like the 18 or 22 HP ones? does more power cause any issues with the hydraulic dive train? Can't think it would have any effect on the PTO mowing deck.

I have mow about 4 acres in a mountain cove bottom that is wet with springs I think I am going to really like this tractor after so many years of diposible riding lawn mowers. So I want this to last.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
