Hi all,
I'm considering buying a mid-90's Quincy with a 350 pump. This is pressure lubed.
The reported hours are 12000. I know I wouldn't want to run for 12000 hours, but can someone provide thoughts on how much wear this would represent? Over 20+ years this doesn't seem like much per year, but is there a guide for how many hours these go without rebuild?
Rumor has that these run forever - any thoughts on how close to 12,000 hours is to forever?
The original motor was spec'd as a 10HP, but it currently has 5hps on it. Don't know when they were changed.
Any thoughts are appreciated.
Thanks,
Don
