Your nickle and diming stuff actually sounds pretty cheap (except for the spun bearing on the 706D). A new tractor will have many of the same issues (a tire puncture is a tire puncture, a battery gets old and dies) and they all need their oil changed.
My experience has been that the old tractors are pretty reliable - once you've got a good one. It's the equipment they pull that causes the down time. The tractors are run year round and you usually get a little heads up that something needs work before the push of harvest or getting a crop in. Its the stuff that sits for 8-9 months that kills you when its got to be done now and you just lost another bearing. The baler that worked perfectly all season last year loses time the first round in the hay field, the disk your running a little hard to beat the rain loses an ouside arbor bearing etc....
Especially with you having plenty of back ups - if one tractor were to fail, you pull it with a chain to turnrow and hook up the next one.
