   Someone will chime in but I believe the leroi main thrust bearing is in the middle and the allis is on the end.

   The front of the Leroi crank is to narrow for the thrust bearing, you need to have it ground wider by just a few thousandths.  Other than that it will fit.  You could shim the crank gear out, or machine the thrust bearing narrower to make it work also if you had to but grinding the surface is simple to do in a crank grinder. I've used the Leroi cranks in Allis blocks several times, it's simple. Just the clearance issue on the thrust bearing. | |
