Tractors of that era were either fixed wide front axles with rather low ground clearance or narrow front. The narrow fronts were used for row crop cultivation because they tracked in between the rows and most if not all cultivators were front mounted and designed for narrow front tractors.

The rear axles on those narrow front tractors was usually quite high compared to the standard version to allow crop rows to pass underneath without being swept down. Accomplished with tall rear wheels (John Deere, Oliver, Farmall) or drop axles (Allis Chalmers).

A holdover from using planters that were designed to accomodate the width of a horse.
