I'll disagree, they do. I have looked at countless Cubs in the last year and a half or more, hundreds for sale, I have found only ONE that claimed to have 3000 hours and it was a commercially used 1872. Please point me to one or two with more than 1800 original hours? I'd love to have someone prove me wrong. On that note my 1811 went at 1856 hours, gov and valve, of which I purchased from the original owner who had it serviced regularly. They have a life expectancy.
