"Row-crop" is a general term that usually applies to the narrow-front types of tractors that were the most common where row-crops such as corn and soybeans, as well as other crops like cotton were grown. The tractors typically have two front wheels very close together. A somewhat less common type has one front wheel.
This design was utilized throughout the corn belt because it allowed the tractor to cultivate corn with front-mount cultivators until the corn was too high to clear under the rear axle. Corn cultivation to that height was usual practice before herbicides were in common use. The narrow front also allowed the use of a mounted corn picker.
Row-crop tractors were common through the midwest and corn belt in general. Except for Fords and utility versions of other brands, I don't remember ever seeing a tractor in central Indiana with a wide front before 1960 or so.
Regarding the 3pt hitch, don't try to adapt one made for another tractor.
