For all of us with a MF180 in working clothes here is something to aspire to.
It had the MF Pressure Control Hitch mounted to the 3 point also

Tell me more about your 180's, I am casually looking at one to buy currently, not because I need one but I have always been real interested in them! Is it basically a 175 with a flat floor and higher clearance?
 
Yes basically a higher 175.
Very nice ride sitting high with the flat station.
This is my bush horse.

That is a beautiful tractor!What size is the rear tires? I have a 1966 180 and the muffler is black. What color should it be?
 
The 180 has the Perkins 236 diesel engine thru the production run. Early gas was Continental 206. Late gas was Perkins 236. Rated around 62 PTO horsepower. 1080 is Perkins 318 at 80 hp.
 
Lovely tractor ..... I'm sure they were nice fresh from the assembly line but probably not quite to that level of fit and finish. Some consider tractors like that as being over-restored. A common issue with professional judges at car shows apparently, you can go above and beyond what the factory offered. Serious car restorations even show over spray intentionally if they came that way from the factory. Anyways, that one you showed is a beauty, no question about that.
 
Ah another eye candy for me, on my want list. Went to the Coulee Region antique show featuring Massey just a couple weeks ago, and someone brought in a 180 with narrow front, boy was I drooling.
