Need Mechanic

Crap!!! Thats why I figured it may have taken so long but it did cross my mind that no damage to the head was found or mentioned.New the water/rust in that Cyl. didn't look good any shouldn't have been there But dang not from that.
Check into it were the crack is may be a easy fix. but the way I look at things like that is expect the worst and hope for the best.

Ray it's a sleeved engine. A pair of cylinder sleeve/piston sets is normal overhaul procedure.

Is it simply a sleeve that is cracked, or the block itself?

The one leak is coming from the rear of the head . The second leak is where the radiator hose connects to the block about 2 inchs behind fitting and appears to be about 1 inch long and coolant is leaking from crack. I don't know why it stopped unless its coolant leaking into fuel. When I turn it over get white smoke out of exhaust but will not fire.

Maybe someone local would like to buy as project. Everything works and has new skid steer turf tires on rear and loader has to be worth somthing.

"The one leak is coming from the rear of the head . "
Why.

A 1 inch crack is not necessarily a death blow. There are lots of block sealers on the market, and lots of vehicles running with them. I would definitely do some troubleshooting, find out why it won't run, why it's leaking at the head, does it need a sleeve, etc.

There is a member here ( soundguy) that's in central fl . He restores vintage tractors . He may have run across this type of problem & may be able to offer you some assistance

I think I'm ready to give up and sell it as is. I want to move up to a bigger tractor anyway have a lot of work to do on 20 acre lot that needs clearing. How much do you guys think a ym2k with loader is worth. It has turf tires (skid steer) on rear. I figure the loader alone has to be worth it.

Looking in my Yanmar operators manual --

Engine smokes white: Wrong fuel, low temperature, air in fuel (lean), low compression, bad head gasket.
