The 1982 Ford Lehman 6 cylinder Diesel Engine is sold.
As to the number of hours - Yes - it was Bob Smith who also told me that number & I always remembered that number & he was a guy who worked for Ford Lehman and went on to start American Diesel & was very knowledgeable about the engine.
Properly cared for & used regularly they can last a very, very long time.
In fact if they sit to much that can sometimes shorten their life more that regular usage.
But your also right that many owners neglect them & don't take care of them & that can be the reason a few die under that many hours.
So the engine is sold my friends. So this one will continue it's life in another boat it will now call home. Thank you to all on TF ! Your help is much appreciated.
Thanks.
Alfa Mike
