In my internet surfing, I have ran accross a few instances where an Oliver 70 with 40" rear tires are considered as a "high crop" and are also considered to be worth more. The 70 I have has 40" rears and I've never thought much about it being "rare". Does having 40" rear tires make a 70 worth that much more? Is it really any big deal?

Dad"s uncle had an 80 that had 42"s but it was a tricycle type.

Well if your 70 has a good pair of 40 inch tires it is probably worth a little more because of the price of the 40 inch tires. When I started back in 1960 we did some minor things to the 70's yet and junked some at the same time if they needed major work. Tires varied from 36 through 40 inch. Bradk set you pretty well straight on what a 70 high crop is. The other shade of green was like that also but they used 42 inch tires instead of 40 inch. There was a farmer east of town who had a 70 with the 40 inch tires and the wide front and it was probably the only one.One of the people I went to church with also had one but had traded for a 77 with the cast front Why? at that time they grew tomatoes and you needed the extra clearance and the rows were much wider (60 inch) so a standard tricycle front end did not work for the tomato growers.

Thanks guys! Every now and again I run accross one of those wide fronts, but the narrow front is more handy for me, so I think I will keep it as it is.

I should have mentioned also that the 70 high clearance model has a different frame than a narrow,so you can't change fronts like other Olivers. ~brad

The 70 high-clearance is not what one might expect according to today's standards.
In the 70's instance, high clearance means it has a wide,arched front axle which helped cultivating standing crops.
I have a 70 high-clearance and it's the only one I've ever seen in person.
I hate to use the word "rare",because everyone's tractor seems to be this,but I know there's not alot of 70 high-clearance tractors out there.~brad

Someone has one on Ebay right now with the wide front. It looks a little taller than most. Take a look and see if this is a true HI-CROP.
