Kelly, For most rod journals, you can get by with 2 micrometers. One being a 1-2 inch, the other being a 2-3 inch. For farm use, they don"t have to be of Starret quality, but rigid nonetheless. I have bought most of my measuring tools from pawn shops, and have ended up with top quality at bargain basement prices. To measure the Inside dimensions of rod bearings and such, an inexpensive set of telescoping gauges will do the trick, as you can transfer the measurement to your outside mics. If you were measuring closer than + or - .001 you would want high quality measuring tools, but in most applications on the farm, including rod journals, you are measuring + or - .001 or larger. As some have suggested, dial calipers will measure that close, but they are somewhat more cumbersome and prone to be misread when removed from the subject. Plus they are hard to measure roundness.
