Lighter? That's a new request. You could try cutting out pieces of the frame that arent needed. Also, where ya from in MN?

Build an all aluminum frame - delete the steel rims for some aluminum ones - dimple dies are a good investment.
When you can't get it any lighter then its time to increase HP.

Don't sit on it, this could potentially drop 50lb------600lbs from the mower itself. On a more serious note, perforate and unnecessary structural plates, also aluminum plate parts as well.
