Hello all, I recently replaced the rings and rod bearings in my farmall c and ran into a problem. When I measured the journals on the crankshaft they repeatedly measured 1.745. Standard rod bearings are 1.75. So I ordered the .010 undersized rod bearings as I was told from a tech on Steiner tractor parts. When I removed the old rod bearings and looked at the stamp on the back, I realized they were standard bearings but some were worn and discolored pretty good. I went back on steiner and they once again told me if I measured 1.74 on the journals to use the .010 undersized bearings that I had bought. The issue Im running into is when I dropped the first piston in and torqued the rod bearing cap down (40-45 foot pounds with the cotter pin style nuts, as I read online) the crank shaft locks right up and I can no longer move the crank. Even when jacking the tractor up to put it in gear and spin the tires. But once I loosen the rod bearing cap and take the cap off the crank and piston move as they should. I applied assembly grease to the bearings before installing. Does anyone have any advice on what I should do?

The golden corn ripens well and early, the stoking, stacking,.... the drawing in with the tractors and trailers and a few buck rakes thrown in, and possibly a heavy horse. It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
