After 57 hours of wide open MX my sons CR needs a crank. What are my options? Haven't found any aftermarket crank assemblies on line. Help!

Hi everyone,
As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.
When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.
Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.
Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.
Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.
Thanks for your patience and support!

the big end rod bearing? main bearings? a rod kit or new mains would be easier than a whole crank..most rod kits come with the lower pin..just have a shop install the rod

My crank lasted 41 hours so don't feel too bad. I rebuilt it with a Pro-X rod kit that I got on Amazon, of all places, for about $75 shipped. My local crank guy pressed and trued it for me for $25. Others here gave it a thumbs up, and it seems as good as stock. I actually suspect it is better than stock, being a Japanese part. If the webs are damaged you will need a new OEM crank, I don't believe there is any other option.
Pro-x part# 03.6217
I typed it into amazon and boom it showed up.
My reeds were also shot and breaking up. The $28 OEM crank seal stung the most, though.
I've got 1.2 hours on the new crank and it is smooth and runs great.

bit late to the thread guys
does anyone know what feeler gauges i should use to check my wr 125 2003 oem crank, no up and down play but seems to have a decent amount of side to side. the old husky manuals aren't really illustrated well, i cannot seem to find anything showing how to measure big rod clearance.
cheers

I ordered the "kit" from Halls Husqvarna in Springfield - surprisingly economical and the entire assembly arrived in no-time. Since the thing was down, I took the opportunity to send the 144 to Pro Circuit for the head milling and porting, added the Pro Circuit pipe and silencer, sent the power valves to Wally, and threw in the JD Jetting kit. Can't even begin to describe the difference.
