That is a nice looking 180 you have there. I wish my Super 90 looked as good but I will be satisfied if I can just get it working good mechanically and not worry about the paint. I found out that it is true the 300 Perkins has a weakness for blowing head gaskets. Mine gave out last fall and I have had it in the shop all winter working intermittently (when it was not too cold) . I find them a hard tractor to work on compared to some. I damaged the threads on the fuel outlet of the tank during the job (you can't even get the valve cover off without removing the fuel tank and steering shaft. ) and am just working on improvising something that might work as a replacement. No surprise that a new one is not available from Agco for a 50 year old tractor. At least they had the engine gaskets.
