It finally happened...
Lost the plastic cam gear on the '95 John Deere 425 with over 2300 hours on it.
The dealer said that they usually fail between 1500-2000 hours...with some failing as early as 1000 hours.
I've been running Rotella T 10w-30 ($10 a gallon) in it for years, along with either a Puro Classic or Wix low-end (Napa Select/AutoExtra) filter. The engine is spotless on the inside, there's not even any brown staining.
I guess that I've been doing something right, to beat those odds.
