Your machine is basically a Yanmar in JD green paint. With that said, don't look at just Deere parts, look at the vast Yanmar parts.

The key for the exhaust manifold is to know where the muffler is plumed in.

Attached is the Yanmar 3TN75 parts manual. Look over the exhaust system. Then look around for the Yanmar parts. These parts are global, found on Yanmar tractors, excavators, Komatsu earth moving machines, Yanmar gensets, name brand gensets, Yanmar Marine diesel engines, John Deeres, Cub Cadets, and many other places like ThermoKing refer semi trailers, etc.

You don't need to swap out engines. Just get a matching exhaust manifold.

The Yanmar 3TN75 to the JD 3TN75RJ version is typically a 90% or better mach up.

I'm confused. Are you needing an exhaust manifold, or a complete engine? What happened to it?

I think I wasted it,I was pushing snow and the rpm dropped so I increased the throttle went a little further and the oil light flashed then it quit,behind me was a trail of oil

WOW.

These Yanmar engines use 10W30 Diesel oil and J20D Hy-Gard Winter formula for cold season work. Is it possible 15W40 was in the engine and it had problems?

OK, so we need to find a RePower engine supplier for the JD855. It may take a few nights finding one with the matching engine or one that will bolt on and work from the Yanmar machines.

In what region are you because close to home saves on long distant transport costs.

Too bad to hear about the engine.

I bought one that isn’t a exact match but I think it’s going to work.Oufit in Indiana has them brand new no core

Don’t know it was recently serviced when I got it back in June from a local JD dealer.never thought it would happen

Bet the engine has the ticker oil for summer use. And the hydraulics had the ticker and high viscosity oil too.

Once you get the machine all back nicely, keep in touch we can chat about season things to keep in mind and to check.

Some dealers are great, others are questionable.

Right about the dealerships they’ll gouge you if they can.I’m having a local farm mechanic do the installation that was recommended to me by a genuine farmer in my area that’s used him before
Thanks for your help

Keep in touch, we'll like to hear the work being done to the final outcome.

Also, the JD Compact section and the Yanmar section here are good helps to learn so much bout your Yanmar in JD green paint. Even things not in the manuals that help with their uses.

I look at it as the dealerships have to price their service enough to make a profit or they cannot stay in business. No gov't subsidy that I know of either.
And I like that they stay in business so I don't have more than 15 miles to drive to get parts and service.
And a place for the local mechanics to go to get OEM parts.
There is no free lunch.
But I too avoid making trips to the dealer when a mechanic is needed, as much as possible. Thanks to TBN for the help that is available here.
