looking for info. on a tractor, We believe it is a 1947? John Deere A WH which I asume stands for wide high. any info. on the history of this tractor would be apreciated. it has 40" tires on rear and having a very hard time locating new rubber, 40" tires are a rare size. we believe not many of these were made, any idea on what it is worth restored? it is guessed that this tractor was made for cotton farmers, it has very high front spindles also, thanks to anybody that can help, Kevin

That's right, W (wide front) and H (high crop). I'll borrow a couple picture links from Rummy's Antique JD Tractor Page here....ANH (narrow, high crop) and AH or AWH (wide front, high crop).

I'm not sure what your tire size should be, but M.E. Miller Tire has two sizes of 40" tires listed, and may be able to point you to a source if they don't have what you need.

No, not a lot of high crop tractors were built compared to the normal row-crop or standard tread versions. (High crop tractors are still being built today.) They're intended for any application that requires the tractor to be driven over a crop without disturbing the plants much. I believe vegetable crops are the most common application, but I've seen high crop tractors set up for spraying corn fields. They seem to turn up frequently in the South, so cotton, tobacco and peanuts may also benefit from the high ground clearance (I'm not very familiar with the specifics of caring for those crops).

Hope the information is helpful.

Kevin Could it have been equiped when built with 4 wheels on rear ? I know that they never built 4 wheel drives in those years , but if you will notice that in adds people abbreviate wheels as "WH "
