To sum what the others said -- The propane and the cut hood means you have a modified tractor. The single front and the 100 inch rear axles are of no consequence as those were options available to all H's. The 100 inch axles have nothing to to with the low speed gears. Axles on the H (maximum tread width), were either 80 or 100 inch. The third axle width referred to below is 88 inch, standard on the Super H, the 80 inch was not available on the SH, far as I know; I believe all are interchangeable on either tractor. The 100 inch axles, I suppose may have been designed for vegetables, I don't know. I grew up in vegetable country and never saw 100 inch axles, ours were set to 80, since we used 20 inch rows, or sometimes 40's for cantalopes, etc, they were fine. Perhaps the single front makes it a vegetable tractor, our single front was used for that purpose, but row crop farmers used single fronts also. SO--anything you want to do will work, and will only cause arguments amoung purists, who often don't know what they are talking about, anyway.
