Know a fellow who has a 963C with over 14000 hours. In conversation I ask how many engine rebuilds and reply was none. All as it came from factory. Is this common? I know he only owned it less than 5 years so wonder if it is true?
I did not doubt the number of hours but just wondering if it was common to go that far on an original engine.What year model, S/N?
Are 2080 hours of straight time pay for eight hour days per year. If a worker operated or at least had the engine in run for at least 75% of a days time that would be just under 8000 hours for a 5 year span. If worked (Doubtful) 10 hour days six days a week is at 15600. Five days at 10 hr days is 13000. Doesn't leave much off time.
