Jd 6068

I am looking for some input good or bad on a JD 6068 225hp with 3000hrs. The motor is very clean and has excellent maintenance records.

Good engine that's what my father has in his commercial lobster boat. Just turned 10'000 hrs.

Got a dozen or so JD's here at work including a couple of 6068's. All generators. Some 15 years old or more. Good engines. Just have to keep up with the coolant treatment.

I have a 6068 Tier II Mechanical engine. This was the first batch of Tier II emission engines produced and they all apparently have issues with starting and the fuel pumps had to be modified. Once the engine is warmed up it acts like all other 6068s though.
