Cheaper. This was in the war years, after the Depression. $10 was a big deal back then. Narrow front was cheaper. Big deal, more than we probably realize in today's consumer world.
Mounted corn picker - doesn't work on a wide front (Vermeer's (or was it Kinze?) prototype mounted 4 row not withstanding....).
Cultivating, it's harder to get clearance for the wide front end, both for the cultivator and for tall corn. However; it's a lot easier to get a narrow front with mounted cultivator stuck in the mud! Negative of the narrow fronts....
Manuverability - most narrow fronts can spin on the rear wheel in a circle. Backing wagons is easier with an old narrow front than a widefront.
