We own 2 1086s. One is a 1977 4 post canopy and the other is a 1980 w/ cab (western style interior) w/ 3500 hours. I have to admit, they are good tractors if you don't neglect them. Like others, I hate the door swing on the cab. And every year we have to work on the AC unit.
Our 1980 model pump is turned way up putting out well over 160 hp. Needless to say, you have to be very gentle on the clutch and it drinks twice as much fuel. It has had work on the rearend thanks to my uncle (who bought it new) wanting to pull a disc the same size and as fast as his 1586. The TA has been deleted in both of them. Neither tractor does much hard labor nowadays. Used only for hay crops.
