Charlie,
<font color=blue>If you put an hour meter on a car, I would bet that few 100,000 mile cars would have less than 3000 hours engine running time on them.</font color=blue>

You are pretty close; I have just under 30,000 mile on my truck and about 780 hours on the clock. (New Chevy Silverado's have hour meters, just like our tractors [img]/w3tcompact/icons/grin.gif[/img]). So for me, it looks like 100,000 miles is about 2500 hours. Tractor engines being built much much heavier duty than truck engines should last dern near forever. Probably longer with the care given!
