We use the 1086 quite a bit yet, at least 250 hours a year or so. It runs the grain vac, sprayer, and haybine. This year it is retiring from the haybine and going on the rake, though - or at least that is the plan.
I run two 1942 model H's for mowing and raking road ditches, and they see occasional use on the grain auger when I'm around - Dad doesn't like having to get on and push the clutch to get the auger going.
I used to do a lot of road ditch mowing with our 1946 A, but that is in dire need of an overhaul so it was retired from that job and has been sitting in the back corner of a building for about seven years now...
I hope to retire someday and farm around 150 acres with my H's, A, and a W-9.
Our newest tractor is a late 80's (I think) 4450 JD MFWD with a loader on it for feeding cattle, my brother bought it a couple years ago to replace the 1256 IH. We also have a 1978 JD 8630, 1984 Case 2590, and a 1968 IH 544.

Originally the company was called the Cleveland Motor Plow Company which began in 1912, then the Cleveland Tractor Company (1917) and finally Cletrac.
