Marv 983 #1 Posted October 20, 2012 I see members referring to large frame engines. What is the difference between large frame and "small" frame? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rmaynard 16,343 #2 Posted October 20, 2012 Large footprint engines vs. small footprint. The large footprint is the same as a small footprint as far as the power is concerned. The difference is the oil pan. The smaller pan is used in the tractors that feature a cradle mount. Has nothing to do with the frame. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
