How many John Deere H widefront tractors did John Deere build ? Were aftermarket wide fronts available as well ?

[Ken Majeski]

Well, A Guy near made up a few with BW front ends added and Yes he was getting BIG Money for them. He called them HR's and even had HR decals painted on them So if sombody's trying to sell one make sure it's authentic.

Four variations of the "H" were produced:
the original "H".
the "HN" with single front wheel.
the "HNH" with single front wheel and high clearence.
the "HWH" with wide front and high clearence.

The only wide fronts were in the high Crop variation. Deere did not make any H's in the Regular/Standard variation.

Bill's right only high crop with the wide front on the JD H series, I saw one onetime a fellow had made up to look like a regular an HR if you will. Great job but of course not offered by Deere.

I think the number of HWHs built was 112. Most were shipped to California. You wont find any of these... cheap. Here is what they look like. The rarest is the HNH. I passed up one of these (The man wanted $125) once... All I can say is my foot is sore.

According to the Two Cylinder Club they made 125 HWH's, There was three variations of the wide front, 1) it has a harrow casting in the front, 2) they made an optional wide casting 3) There is a narrow front with axel extensions.
