For a well cared for engine, 7-8000 hours for a gas engine and 10,000 hours for a diesel can be expected unless it's a bad design to start with. Of course, an engine that gets run for short periods of time and/or gets lugged will have a much shorter life. My neighbor has 11,000 hours on his Deere 3020 gas engine and it's never been apart since new. Same guy has a 4020 diesel, and I've rebuilt it twice since new - and it currently has 13,000 hours on it since the last time I tore it down. He also has a newer 120 horse air-cooled Deutz-Allis that's crapped out twice and never got past the 6000 hour mark. My 4000 Ford backhoe with the 172 gas engine has never been apart since new and has 8000 hours on it - but it's close to wipped. My Deere 1010 crawler-loader got 2800 hours on the gas engine before it needed a rebuild - but it's a severely underpowered machine and gets lugged all the time.
