I would recommned that you drive a 1086 around a little bit even if it does not have a loader on it. Play with the clutch and shift it constantly (pretend that your doing loader work) and see if you really want to fight that gear shifter everytime you need to change a gear and see how smoothly you can let that clutch out.
If your used to the JD 7800 and the 4020, I honestly don't think you will like the clutch and transmission on that 1086. I would recommned that you look for a JD4240 / 4250 / 4255. I know these will run more money than the 1086, but in the end its your money to decied what you get.
Also, set on the seat and look out the rear window and see if you can see the drawbar over top of the fuel tank. I known several people to trade these 86 series in with a couple of hundered hours on them becuase they could not see the draw bar. Like I said before, pretend that your doing loader work and play with the clutch and transmission, while your doing that try to hook up to an implement. When it comes to backing up 2 inches, you tend to go to 2 feet!
I will say, them school bus engines (466 block) are an amazing source of power. If they would of made a better clutch and transmission they would see be alive today!
Its your money and you gotta be happy with what ya get and if a 1086 is what you want then go get it. This is just my honest opinion. Best of luck finding that loader / chore tractor

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
