Three bearing cranks were common in diesels during the 1950's through to the 1960's. David Brown was still using them in their diesels quite late on. The Perkins L4 was a well like engine along with its later version the 4.270. They were used in a number of different combine harvesters and industrial machines and did not give problems with breaking cranks.
Strangely enough, the Fordson Major Diesel had a five bearing crank from its inception and that broke cranks for a pass time in its early days. The crank was very weak and would break during transport in the back of one of our service vans. It was modified and made of a different material which solved the problem but I still have an original in my petrol/kerosene E1A Major and that is still good after 70 years.

In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
