The rear main might be the problem for a show tractor if it starts pouring oil into the clutch. If its showing no signs of that yet, it might be fine. I do know that once it starts knocking its most likely too late to just replace the bearings, so you take that chance.

Question--if a crankshaft journal--rod or main--varies say from .02 to .03 clearance, can you just install a bearing without turning the crank? would you install a .02 or a .03 bearing?
thanks

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
