Good news Kurtis - your bearings are STD 'standard' size (your crank never 
turned down to smooth out worn/scored journals). You can get bearings in 
.010, .020, .030 to take up space after a crank grind and nowadays even .040, 
.050, .060 oversize.
You apparently have a virgin crank shaft..kind-of! Or maybe someone threw in 
a new set of standard size but didn't grind the crank.
I don't know what the other numbers means (maybe 'MF 1' means 'Massey 
Furguson first set' ?)

'63 TR4 since '74 .. with Vandervell Brand .020 crank bearing shells at the 
ready..
