Shawn, Most likely it was just looking for a place to happen. I doubt any of the things that you listed caused it. There is a lot of years use on it. Have it rebuilt and use it again.

I think if I was in your shoes I would look for a AOD and rebuild it with upgrades. Higher gas prices makes those thing more attractive.
