4000 hours on a nturally aspirated diesel isnt that high, if you could get an accurate oil oil sample it would help, if the engine oil has been recently changed, you may not get the true story, I am sure Paul could give you more on this.
We have a lot of JD engines in industrial service in our company, they are bullet proof, Lugger and norther lights use the base engines for their marine products.
