Take the crank to a local machine shop with a decent reputation and ask if it can be repaired and if so, how much it will cost.

They might sell you an engine but you have to assume it needs rebuilding. You might be able to find a donor tractor, one with the same engine in good shape but maybe it has a dead tranny or whatever. Often that's the least expensive way to go but it might take a while to hunt one down.
