almost any car alternator will do you need to check mounting configuration, pulley diameter and projection and wiring layout.
Alternators are generally left or right handed, find one with built in regulator for ease of wiring.
Old lucas as fitted to brit cars is very easy to adapt reversable for left / right fitting and two wire electrics.

Only used John Deere and they never went wrong, so can't help much. Did you do an alty test or could you have a battery drain elsewhere.
