Thousands if it's maintained.

That's a hard thing to pin down. Have you been the only owner. Did it have a hard life. Was it kept outside all of its life. All of those kind of things make too many variables to predict.

820 hours? Don't worry about. It's barely done the break in period. (y)

The key for the machines to last is taking good care of them and keep maintenance done in time.

My grand dad bought a 1900 in 1980 or so. Plowed a forty. We used it for what we needed. Still have it going strong.

I believe it’s been in good maintenance all it’s life my grandparents were real sticklers about getting anything they had with a motor serviced every year
