I would guess that if you are replacing the shaft as an assembly.. bearing 
carrier and all.. that you don't need to worry about it.  If you were merely 
repalcing a shaft or a seal.. you might check the bearing play.. but as an 
assembly.. it should already be to correct tolerance fit in the bearing 
carrier/seal/collar assembly that bolts into the tractor.

The I&T fo4 manual makes no mention of shimming bearings for the replacement 
assemblies on the fords, that are also 4 bolt slide in/out in replacement 
units.. etc.
