If you do not have the tools and the expertise to do precision engine repair, this job would better be left to the professionals. Diesels are not forgiving in the bearing and crankshaft end of things due to the high compression and high pressures generated. Much more so than a gas engine. Here is one place where "farmer fixes" will quickly fail.
Given that the rod was loose on the crank, it is very unlikely that the crankshaft is undamaged. Also unlikely that the rod Is not damaged. Next question is WHY did this happen? Did the rod starve for oil? Is an oil passage blocked? Did the engine have good oil pressure when it started knocking? In my many years of experience, I have found that when a diesel starts knocking, it is going to take a bottom end overhaul to make it reliable again.

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.
