It would be a lot of work but there would be relatively little modification necessary. The 1256 and 1086 are both based on the original 706/806 platform. All the major components are in the same places.
The way I would do it, I would strip everything off the platform of the 1256, from the fuel tank on back. Install the cab complete with all the controls, and hook everything up.
There's no practical way to install the cab and retain the 56-series controls. As Owen said, they moved the operator's platform forward on the 86 series.
The steering column on an 86 is where the fuel tank is on the 56. The seat on a 56 is where the fuel tank is on an 86.
The only way you could mount the cab and keep the 56 series controls would be to hang the cab off the rear of the tractor by about 18". That would put the doors smack between the rear wheels.
