IF it is in good condition with the 7,200 hrs. showing, and with proper feeding & care, you should get at least 15,000 hrs. out if it
1st thing, put a new Gates fan belt on it, the belt has always been the wear issue on these from our experience. Had one on a bookmobile, ran more hours than you would believe.
The other weak link has been the fuel solenoid, would keep a spare.
New they sold for about $6,500 as I recall from the early 90's.
