I think it very rare and 13.6 x 38" rears were a factory option. I have a regular D-17 IV diesel with 3 pt that I installed 14.9 x 38" PS rears on years ago for cultivating kidney beans. I have several single fronts for D series and think that I'm going to take the wide front off and install the single front with the 16" cast spoke wheel. I guess that will make it a extra high clearance but not a high crop.

The difference between high clearance and high crop is, the high clearance has the same final drive as a regular tractor, it just has 38" tires. A high crop has a longer final drive drop with another axle in it to make a taller step. And usually the high crop has the 28" rear tires.

I agree with David about the final drives, but high Crops have 38" rears also. Not sure there is such a thing as a single front high Crop ? The wide front h.crop had the taller spindle knees like high clearance but had 20" front tires instead of the standard 16", if I'm not mistaken.
