How to Measure your Engine Crankshaft for Rod Bearings and Main Bearings: Farmall H or W-4

Selecting the correct bearing size could be confusing. In this video, Rachel makes the process easy. She shows where to measure and how to match your crankshaft up to the correct size rod bearings and main bearings. The chart shown is for an International C152 engine (Farmall H, W-4, O-4 and I-4 Tractors).

I’ve been watching car and bike rebuild videos for years and no one has explained it nearly as well as you have. Thank you for for taking the time to explain it in full.

As always, a very straight forward professional video. What shop wouldn't be head over heals to have such talent. That said, precise measurements are somewhat intimidating to novices. As such, I'd recommend you include taking actual measurements in your videos. While professionals are comfortable in dealing with thousandths of an inch, many if not most weekend mechanics aren't used to do doing so and may feel it is beyond their capabilities. Showing the proper use of micrometers, calipers and feeler gauges in your videos would help assure them.

You sound like you studied mechanical engineering and you truly understand what you are saying rather being a voice actor who reads a script. Excellent!!!

Rachel ji, you have given very good information, thank you very much👌👍🇮🇳🚜🚜😀😀

I did not measure my crankshaft but machine shop lightly worked the journals to achieve smoothness, cylinders were de-glazed not exactly bored, surface was cut a minimum pass, not much and i installed standard sizes for all components; I am wondering if the engine will run ok when start and if I would not destroy it.

That's some serious tongue twisters there :-). Always enjoy your videos.

WoW. You really know your stuff. Very informative and interesting. Thanks!!

Hi I am studying mechanical engineering. I think your video is really helpful. I am so curious to know about engine

[nolamanganaro]

Do have any videos on a McCormick farmall 560 I don't know the year it was built. Thanks Jim

Always measure crank journals in two places 90° apart.
Use a quality micrometer.
Starrett or Mititoyo Browne Sharpe etc.
Also always chamfer radius oil holes smooth on all journals.

[JackSmith-wser]

Do you have main bearing set for farmall a .020 undersized

[kallitfishin]

Can you use a caliper gauge to measure in sted of a dial bore gauge

I would give about anything if my wife was half as interesting. Not saying I don't love my wife. Just a statement. Thanks for the videos Dan & Rachel. I seem to learn something new with each one.
