WTB Z129 Head without crack

Looking to buy a Z129 head in good shape mine is cracked. Does anyone have a good source for buying Z129 heads they would be willing to share. Thanks
 
There's one on eBay right now from a 100% seller "...rebuilt and ready to set on tractor." - - I'd suggest an in depth discussion about what specifically has been done, the valve springs don't look new to me, and frankly I don't see any sign of the valves/seats actually being ground... In my mind a refurbished head should have new guides (if necessary), new springs (always), valves and seats ground, and the flatness checked/head surfaced - it does appear this head has passed over a surface grinder

They come and go on eBay - a want add on this site would be in order, and there are a number of tractor salvage operations you can search - Walt's Tractor has been good to me, but an internet search will stir up several - likely you'll be on your own to refurbish and machine shops are not as common as they used to be -

you need to evaluate the studs in your block also -

good luck -

on the advice of someone from this forum - they don't have exact replacement lengths, the short is a bit long and the longer one I got were too short to use the washers that came with them - they send beautiful quality flanged nuts and heavy washers with the studs - if I were doing it again I'd see what the length of the next longer stud would be and probably use it -

here's a pictorial from that engine adventure -

Thank you. To be honest I never thought about ARP. I guess I just couldn't wrap my mind around looking at a non ag company.
