"Get by" is sometimes a VERY expensive experiment.
Your original post reads "My connecting rod bearings all (save one) need replacing".
What are you basing this on, and WHY are you in there? Just curious? Low oil pressure? Knocking?
Unless you have the experience to judge the condition of the crank, know how to properly interpret plastigauge, and are ABSOLUTELY SURE exactly what bearings are in there now, you will be ahead to have a pro make that decision for you.
You wouldn't be asking here if you had that experience, and no one here can evaluate your crankshaft remotely, much less without so much as photos.
If you guess WRONG, you will have scrapiron when done, and it's a small tractor (simple to split and remove the crank) and a simple crank evaluation and grind (if needed) is gonna add only a hundred or two $$$$ to what you are doing, and SHOULD make for a LOT better likely outcome, IMHO.
