I don't recall the model number or engine size, but a friend years ago had a Ford garden tractor, and the engine oil pan was indeed welded into the frame, it was designed that way, the oil pan was an made into the frame, not PO mod. It too had a round tube frame, and the oil pan was factory installed between the frame rails.
