The standard, heavy cast front end just bolts on in the same way that the ROM pedestal or the adjustable WFE bolt on. The large fenders are also bolt on. The rear wheel castings were different, but they also interchange. Most standards did not have the rockshaft. The rockshaft housing is also interchangeable (and a whole lot of work to replace). There is a picture in one of my books of a GR, which was made by adding fenders, platform, and front end from a donor tractor (probably a 70). If you really wanted to, you could rebuild a Standard into a Rowcrop and vice versa. A rebuilt from something else would not be an "authentic factory version" and command the additional value for scarcity but it would still be identical. Such tractors are sometimes called "counterfeit" and my guess is that more than one HiCrop was assembled from something else. This is also one reason for such emphasis on the serial numbers found especially on scarce tractors. The serial number usually identifies whether or not the tractor is really what it is supposed to be.
