Toyota Skid Steer 2SDK6 with cracked head

[novasmic]

Hi Guys, I have just brought a 2SDK6 with a cracked head, I have been told the engine is a Yanmar 3T84H other numbers on the engine are 729301-51100-1164 & 6G24.... A few questions, having trouble finding a new head. Supplier in China is telling me that this engine uses 3 different heads and they can only supply 2 of the 3. Can anyone confirm this is the case or point me in the direction of where i can buy one from. Another question : With the 2SDK6 will any other engine fit in without to much stuffing around? Thanks again Terry

Just a long shot - I know some John Deere compact tractors from the '80's used Yanmar engines. So did Yanmar tractors, for that matter. For example, the John Deere 870 used a Yanmar 3TN84, I don't know if that is close enough....
As far as a replacement engine, a Kubota D1105 might be a suitable candidate. The exhaust manifold is on the opposite side of the head, but is a 3-cylinder, and in a similar HP range.
