Whats the difference between a Lawn Ranger and a "full" size?

Besides the tires/wheels.

 

Thanks. Tom

If you are talking about the little round hood lawn rangers like a L-157 there is a lot of differences between them tires spindles rear fenders lift arm these are just a few that I can recall

I would call the 62-68 Lawn rangers a very close cousin to the 6hp short frame (WH)tractors of the same year .  Same unidrive trans and same sized , slightly changed frame and same size hood.  Differences just off the top of my head (like what slammer said ) ...  would be smaller wheels ,hubs, front axle and steering assembly , rear fenders/ fender pan(depending on the model year), seat support panels and hood stand assembly.  

Try searching for some pictures because they tell a good story of the differences.:)

 

My personal favorite is my 1964 Lawn Ranger..

Yes I do mean the early round hood style.

The one I just got (front half only) looks suspiciously like my round hood lawn ranger.

I have a rear from a workhorse in it now.

Don't care about the lift system as I plan to make it a puller for my new lawn tractor series.

I might be wrong but I thought the difference between the 62-68 lawn rangers and full size of the same years were basically the wheel and tires.

Front axles/spindles/engines/belt guards/wheels/tires/fender pans/steering wheels/rear hitch/accessory mounts/probably tie rods since front axle is different.  Although they look like their big brothers, not much is the same.

Also, the Lawn ranger belt guard is interchangeable with the short frame tractors  (604,605,606,607,etc.) that are equipped with the 6hp Tecumseh.
