  650 hours shouldn't be all that much really.  It's a "tractor" engine so 
figure it's good for 2,000 to 4,000 before you have to do much of ANYTHING 
to it other than oil and (various) filter changes.  Dad or the orchard have 
fairly recently bought a water pump and generator that are Kubota or 
Yanmar as well as a Kubota 900RTV or some such number.  Figure it's 
good for a LONG time.  Dad and I think it needs a turbo!  If the price is 
right I'd sure go for it!  :-)
