One big thing it's how the tractor was taken care of and maintained. Does not matter if it is a 986,1086,1486 of 1586. Back when those tractors were the big tractors, lots farmers that had a 986 added a turbo and 1086 had it turned up to around 150hp instead of buying a 1486 and cranking 1486's up to 190 hp instead of buying a 190 hp tractor. I still own a 1486 that does not see too much field work today, does most of the bush hogging. Its one of the best tractors I have owned and it sits on 20.8 x 38 rubber with duals, no fluid and as far as I know the transmission is in good shape. Finding a good tractor no matter what size depends on finding an honest seller. A auction and dealer is a crap shoot. My neighbor use to saying about buying a tractor to big is it's easier for a man to do a boys job than a boy doing a mans job.

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