When you say the crank is "broken", can you give more of an explanation? Is it in two pieces or is it just that the #2 crank journal is in bad shape? Is this by chance a Mitsubishi MTE 2000 tractor? I have been able to get parts for my K3F before; piston, rod, rings but am not sure if a new crank would be available.The K3F engine is considered a Japan only motor but many parts are still available. I would check with Len Sheaffer at
