Another 3600 would be the easiest sway, and most correct. You could also probably do with a 2600.... and most likely a 4100 or 4600SU. None of them would produce too much work to swap. The biggest downside with the 4600 or 4600SU is that they are much higher in the rear and the tractor will be "running downhill" all the time. Otherwise, you've got to get one with small rear wheels and the correct differential to keep the speed up...
Technically speaking I'm fairly certain you can mate any 3 cylinder thousand series or "600" series back half to your tractor's front half. There might be a little screwing around, but nothing major.... at last I don't think there's anything major.
Personally I'd stick to the 3600 or 4100 since they're likely to be easiest and have bette hydraulics than the older tractors. The 4100 will also have a double reduction rear axle and a wet PTO clutch. Something to think about....
