I have a 1978-79?? 450b Case dozer....doing an in frame but can find reference to the DAB rod bearings....the part # is like a case # but the current part numbers don't start till A-50975....I need some help here.... The number one rod is dated 11-78.....two and three are dated 5-80....and number four dated 4-81....the part numbers on cyl's 1-3 is A-50973...????..cant find that case part number anywhere....and the #4 cylinder is a P/N A-50974....checking the #4 rod journal with digital dial calipers it seems to be about .005 smaller than the other three......figure that one out....who would do that??...... I need to find some reference to these DAB part numbers so I can tell which rod bearings I need....or at least I need to know what the standard rod journal size was for the 207D.... again.....HELP!
Never mind....after finding out what the rod journal size was and precise measurement of my crank (with a mic)...the A-50973 bearings are .020 oversized and the A-50974 bearing is .030...... The rod journals on a 207D are 2.2480-2.2490 The Main Journals are 2.8730-2.8740
