Newbie question which I am hoping you can help me resolve. What is the difference between a Ford 2000 Offset and a Ford 2000 High Crop Offset?

All pictures I have found show a high rear end and drop spindles. Some call them High Crop and others not.

Thanks

Quoting Removed, click Modern View to see

That explains why there are no separate part numbers for high clarance spindles.

this 2000 always shows up at the show in Gadsden,AL
He's missing a number in the model, but by my sheets
the 2111?-4 would get a 2000 offset (-4) High clearance with wide front

these were built back when Ford didn't want to lose a sale, I think they would have built most anything ordered if they could

The term "high crop" is a made up term. Ford called them "High Clearance Row Crop Tractors". It means taller front spindles than a regular row crop or offset row crop, and they generally came with taller rear wheels and tires, but they would install whatever size wheels and tires the customer asked for. If it is a regular row crop or offset row crop in terms of the front spindle height, and someone has replaced the rear wheels and tires with taller ones, lots of folks will swear that it is a "high crop", but it is not.

With all of that being said, I cannot find anything in the parts drawing that references high clearance spindles for the 501 or 2000 offset models. They are only listed for the 700/701 and 900/901 series regular row crop tractors. So I believe that they never made a high clearance model in the 501 and 2000 series offset series.

Ford had 2 versions of the offset tractor. The first Ill call the standard version with 28 inch rear tires. The other Ford calls Hi-Clear which uses 38 inch rear tires. The front axle is the same for both tractors but the center axle is turned over 180 degrees from one to the other which changes the clearance to the ground. The picture Joe posted is a Hi-Clear tractor with the axle flipped over to make it a Hi-Clear model.

Part # 313709 uses the term Hi-Clear.

Part 313801 mentions turning the axle over for the Hi-
Clear model. The other picture shows the axle and rear tires on my Hi-Clear with build date code 5 M 12. I also have a 501 standard model.

The center section of the front axle is flipped over where it pivots on the high crop offsets to raise the front end. Spindles are the same. The steering arms on the spindles are different though to keep the tie rods level. Easy to spot a high clearance offset thats been cloned because the tie rods will run at a downward angle from the center to the spindles.

Generally any of the 4 cyl high crop models will have 38 inch rears and an additional six inches or so in the front vertical spindles. The others are simply an offset.

So, this would be considered just an Offset?

That is a offset. 501 was prior model to 2000 offset. I have seen one 501.
