Locks for the connecting rod bolts for a Perkins 318 engine used in Massey 285, 1085, 298, 0r 698 tractors are the correct size. That is what I have always used. I don"t believe they were available from IH over 25 years ago. Any MF or Perkins dealer can get them for you. As far as the rod bolts go, you would be well advised to go with factory replacements. The shoulders act as alignment dowels to make sure the cap is mated to the rod correctly. Don"t shortcut this. And, yes, I too have seen connecting rod bolts fail, usually right after an overhaul where the bolts are re-used and torqued correctly. The threads stretch a little every time the bolt is torqued, and unless you know for sure they haven"t been reused more than twice, or preferably once, I would be replacing with new. Watched a John Deere 2510 put a rod through the block while breaking in a new overhaul on the dyno. The threads were pulled off both bolts. Saw it happen on an MF 1150 also. Very UGLY!
