Now isn't the time. The 80's are about to hit the farmers all over again. What you have is mechanical and reliable. You can put air in those old cabs for the cost of one payment on a different tractor. I put a whole new a/c system in my 886 a year ago for less than a grand. If everything works who cares how old they are. The 56 series were darn good.
We farm 1000 acres with old green - an 8430, a 4440, and a "new" 7800 and old red - an 886, an M, and an A for augering. The '96 7800 is by far the most troublesome. Just a few electric issues every once in a while that I can't trace because of those computers. When the water pump went on the 8430 I climbed up and fixed her. She's got a dial radio and air conditioning. She's pretty stylish.
I suppose you could get rid of one of the old ones and get a nice 1086 for the more modern cab if that makes you feel better. The 886 is my go-to tractor for chores or haying or fertilizer. I love that tractor.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
