Default Quick question on HP of Large Fairbanks

Hi, does anyone know how to tell the differece between a 15 and a 20 hp Fairbanks Z, the open crank ones. I have a lead on one with the tag missing and i want to know how big it is, BTW it has 44" flywheels but i didn't get a measurment on the bore but i would guess around 8"
Thanks

That would be a 15 hp. A 20 will have a bore of 9.25 inches.

I agree with it being 15 hp. They have 44 inch flywheels.
