Definitions
- the engine base comprises a hollow, upwardly open box nested between the beams and has vertical end walls fastened in face relation to the vertical frame beams.
- the hollow interior of the base constitutes an oil pan for the engine.
- the present invention combines an engine which has a separable base with a wheeled framework having laterally spaced vertical side beams between which the separable base of the engine is integrated to stiffen and re-enforce the framework.
- the engine base comprises a hollow, upwardly open box nested between said beams and has vertical end walls fastened in face relation to the vertical frame beams.
- the nested box is removably mounted between said beams by releasable fasteners.
- the walls of the base and the beams are substantially co-equal in height, whereby the nested base fills the frame space between the top and bottom edges of the beams and is concealed between said beams.
- FIGS. 1 through 8 are illustrated and described in said copending patent application Ser. No. 880,479.
- FIGS. 1 and 2 accompany this application.
- a tractor subassembly comprising laterally spaced vertical side beams and cross beams connected together to form a rigid tractor framework, an engine having a separable base which is integrated with the framework to stiffen and re-enforce the framework, said engine base comprising a hollow, upwardly open box nested between said side beams and having vertical end walls fastened in face relation to the vertical side beams, said box further comprising side walls spanning between said end walls and a bottom, the hollow interior of the base constituting an oil pan for the engine.
