[AJD] John Deere A Main Bearings and crankshaft R&R

[Chris C]

Thanks for the info.  I bought one of the matching
main bearings with the crank,  but the other was not
avaliable.  I am planning on bringing the mains to the
shop and having them size them as needed.   Their
books only listed rod bearings and no mains.  I am
crossing my fingers that we will be able to use what I
have and adjust with the shims,   but I want to know
where to go  if I can not use what is already here.
