The issue is the skill level of the parts person. If they only have been around the computers they don't know any other way to look up things. Plus there are no pats on the back for learning it different either.
JD printed a bearing exchange book(It was Blue). It had a cross reference section if you had a number. If you did not it had a listing of all the different styles of bearings. Then the OD and ID where listed in order with the JD part number.
I sold a lot of bearing to the Allis Chalmers and Massey Ferguson combine guys. They told me that most of the time JD was way cheaper on the bearings. The dealer I worked for the longest time kept a large inventory of bearings. We sold a lot of them.
There is also a seal interchange book too(green book). It worked well too. We did not have the choices we did on bearings but we usually could match the common stuff.
This information is in the JD parts system now but you have to have the knowledge to use it. Most of the younger guys don't want to learn how to use it. It is also on jdparts.com. If you are signed up you can get the list pricing too.

After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
