Something that old in my area with under 5K hours, 1066 or 4020? The only way yer gonna find that is if it's had the tach replaced or the hour meter turned over! Here for 10K or less you can get a 5-6K hours 1086 if you shop around. Similar sized JD built when the 1086 was would be in the 10-15K range again if you shop around and take your time to look.
Area/location is going to really determine the value. I paid 4500 for a 1206IH a couple of years ago. My 1st daughters FIL paid 2500 for a 1206 in nicer condition, with hub duals 300 miles west of me about 5 years before I got mine.
AS far as the 1066 vs the 4020, both were good tractors with many still being used today. the 1066 was rated at 125 PTO HP and the 4020 at 95. So if you need 95HP or less it's a toss up. If you need more or may need more than 95HP then it's the 1066 or a large JD.

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
