Are you pulling engine, have you established why you have popped one? As they say, "mad if you don't", but everyone will have their own personal opinion which may differ from mine or yours. Check out https://apps.kubotausa.com/illustrated-parts/, for parts illustration of your tractor and location of plugs.

If the other plugs have not moved or started to leak, then they should not need replacement. Inspect all of the plugs to see if any have started to move. If any did, it may be possible to just tap it back in place.
I had a '63 Ford Thunderbird that blew out one of the freeze plugs and another one that moved slightly. I replaced the blown one and tapped the one that moved back in. I did not experience any problems from the one that I tapped back in. YMMV

#1 why did it pop a plug?
There are 3 to 4 plugs that are know to pop out if it froze.
You can only get the them by removing the engine and pulling the valve cover, front gear case, and clutch housing.
