Thats a pretty nice handoff by your neighbor. He probably needs a flat of beer when you sell it!!
I've got a 1959 Massey 180 that looks darn near identical to yours. (mine is 4 cyl diesel). No loader, though. That's a big plus for you--adds value to the old girl.
My 180 has been good to me...it needs brakes, not normally kept up cause they are hard to fix, and attention to the power steering. But it has swathed and baled for me for 5+ years in a row without complaining! Parts are pretty easy to get and the service/parts manuals were cheap.
A pity they were swallowed up by the Agco conglomerate. Its just a brand now....one of the bland pure vanilla brands of the Agco tractor lineup.

edit: Didn't catch the model of the tractor in the first post. Had to pull my foot out of my mouth on this post!!
