Looking for a 180 MF

[challengertn]

Anybody know where I might find a fairly good 180 to restore?

challengertn- Is there a reason you have picked a 180. They are not as common as other MF's from that era. Some of the steering parts are odd and not as easy to come by and are expensive. It's kind of a row crop version of a 175, there are some in California, but kind of rare.

I don't really have a good reason other than it was a favorite with me when I was growing up. I don't even farm anymore so I can't say that I need it. I could use a much smaller tractor for the work that I need to do. I just like a fast 3 plow tractor with a platform operator's station, gear shifters mounted up out of the way of the operator's legs and a tractor that is fast on the road. In my limited experience with tractors, nothing I've driven fits the bill as well as the 180.

Good choice.....not sure how lucky you'll be at finding a candidate though. They are still a very useful farm tractor. There is a nice looking restored one on ebay though http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3801096601&category=40109
