quoting from one of my old shop manuals,

Using a piece of wood, with the inspection covers off, apply pressure to the crank shaft with the piece of wood, wedging it against the block. If there is lateral or longitudenal movement, the main bearings need to be serviced.

I agree, depending upon the amount of "slop", would help me make my decision on what to do. If it is slight to non-existant, use what you have. If it is very obvious, replace them.

All depends upon what you have in mind for this tractor. Think about how many of these old girls ran and ran and ran with worn bearings. I am a bit proponent of doing things right the first time AND when you have things apart. However, the depth of your wallet can influence your decision at a given time.
