    Hi lads, I have a concrete mixer with a dead engine and want to replace it.
    I have already contacted Matrix about a yanmar replacement, its too expensive
    (1050+vat)
    The original engine is a Kama and one of these would be fine as mixer does little work
    thanks in advance for any reply.

    No, but that's no help, so what sort of horsepower do you need, what is the drive output(sprocket or pulley), what sort of shaft size are we talking, what size mixer is it and what's wrong with the engine that you have? Engine out of a fridge unit is a 3 or 4 cylinder yanmar and way too big, btw, regardless what sort of a mixer it is.
