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 short turn radius (turn on a dime) was a plus because most cultivators were two row, making the short turn capability highly desireable. 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). We could cultivate corn until it was about three feet tall at which time it had canopied over and didn't need any more cultivation. Row width was substantially wider then. A holdover from using planters that were designed to accomodate the width of a horse.
