D8 D13000 Crackshaft undersize bearings

Why are you not looking for -0.020 rod bearings if that is what you need.
You need to provide engine s/n and/or part numbers that your looking for.

I looked up the rod bearing numbers for the 1Hxxxx D8 tractors (D13000) and -0.020 bearings are still in the system.
A search on www.machinerytrader.com shows lower bearings 5B4316 to be available in the US.
Upper bearings 5B4317 were only available in Austrailia.

I didn't even know that there was -0.020" bearing available. There's only 050" size mentioned in the parts book.

This leads me to my another question. What's the difference between upper and lower bearing? Old upper and lower bearings look exactly the same. Since lover bearing would be easy to find, it would be so easy to use lower bearing in both sides.

Thanks Old Magnet. The parts numbers you have given me, have already helped a lot.

Normally the upper bearing has an oil hole in it to allow oil to reach the journal. Did your old ones have a hole in one half and not the other or did both have holes?
