The odds of the crank being in tolerance are extremely small. That the rod hammered around enough to cause the bolts to loose their torque means the rod has been damaged and will need to be reconditioned or replaced. There could also be other problems. A main could have spun and shut off the oil to that rod. Though you didn't see any metal, trust me, it's in there! If you put it back together, even with a reconditioned crank, it will find it's way into everywhere it shouldn't!
Diesels are very unforgiving of short cuts. They will suck your money, blow up, and then take more!
Really you have 3 choices.
Pull the engine, tear it apart, clean and inspect everything. Get a shop manual, check the wear limits (with micrometers and dial bore gauges). Take the crank, rods, head, anything else out of tolerance, to a reputable machine shop and have everything brought back to specs... Then double check their work, assume nothing! Reassemble it, keeping everything meticulously clean, reinstall and pray for the best.
Or pull the engine out, reassemble what was taken apart, take the engine to a reputable rebuilder and have it gone through.
Or try to find a rebuilt or used engine. Both prospects are very risky.
I know this is not what you wanted to hear, but this is not something you can gamble with and come out a winner. If it is out of tolerance, it will quickly fail, just the nature of a diesel.

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
