I'm not sure if it's true or not, but these originally have John Deere 6081H engines.

Only 2464, the last C40LF had a John Deere engine.

Yes you’re correct. It was units 2616-2685 and 2701-2730 that were formerly John Deere 6081H powered till all of them were retrofitted with the Cummins C Gas Plus back in 2012
