My wife wants me to get an Oliver (pretty colors). I enter an antique pull occasionally and wondered what the difference between a row crop or a standard 88 would be in a pull.

No real difference in a pull but let me qualify that a bit. You normally do not see that many as many standards pulling. For one they aren''t really as common. They generally weigh more so the lighter classes are harder to make. In the case of an 88 the axles housings are round on the standard and hexogonal on the row crop. The row crop axle housings are easier to hang wheelie bars and weight brackets from. The standard has tapered ends on the axles which limits tire choice unless you can find (or make) a set of eigth or nine bolt hubs. This will allow you to run a taller 38 or 34" tire instead of the 26 or 30" normally on the tractor.

All this depends on the local rules. What tire sizes and modifications are allowed. I pull a stock 1953 Oliver 88 standard. I pulled from 5500 to 7500# this summer on 18.4-30 rear tires. Next year I plan on pulling from 5000# ( shouldn't need the hubs) or maybe 4500# (if I get the time to make a set of hubs). Another way to get around the axle/hub problem is to swap a set of row crop axles and housings in.
