MF 180 parts

[canadia]

Looking into getting an MF 180 4cyl diesel.
from the pictures I don't see any gear shift on the floor, does that mean its automatic or is it still a standard shift?
Are there any other more popular Massey ferguson models that share similar parts (165, 175, 185 etc) or are they unique to it. I am talking more the transmission, gearbox and other expensive parts.

The MF 180 has a lot of common mechanical parts (engine, transmission, etc) with the 175. It has the gearshift up on the console beside the steering wheel. Makes for a more comfortable tractor for me, being the big guy that I am. Parts are still readily available.

What part of QC are you in? I am just on the east side of Ottawa, good dealer very close, used to be Massey back in the day, but they still have the old parts and the knowledge.

Good Luck.
