If the size change is from wear and not due to the journal being machined to that size you will be able to see or feel a step towards the outer edge of the journal. The step will be where the bearing is narrower than the journal so it does not ride on the journal at that outer edge margin. Anytime you have any visible wear like that you immediately know the crank needs reground or replaced. As woreout pointed out the worn part is almost guaranteed to be egg shaped.
Edit to add: Hopefully you know the bearing caps for both the rods and mains need to be reinstalled on the same mate or position they were originally in. The bearing alignment tabs usually are on the same side, as in both close to the same bolt. There is a possibility you may have damaged the rod but I feel it is kind of unlikely. The sizing of the rod ends on these old Farmalls is important, but not as critical as on a faster revving higher powered 6 cylinder unit. I have some checked you can do without involving a machine shop that will give you a pretty good feel if the rod end has been damaged, please email me if you want to discuss that process. If longevity is critical and you like to throw money at it go ahead and have the rod ends resized.

Today's Featured Article - When Push Comes to Shove - by Dave Patterson. When I was a “kid” (still am to a deree) about two I guess, my parents couldn’t find me one day. They were horrified (we lived by the railroad), my mother thought the worst: "He’s been run over by a train, he’s gone forever!" Where did they find me? Perched up on the seat of the tractor. I’d probably plowed about 3000 acres (in my head anyway) by the time they found me. This is where my love for tractors started and has only gotten worse in my tender 50 yrs on this “green planet”. I’m par
