MF 180 Serial Numbers listing??

Anybody out there have, or know where to find a serial number listing / breakdown by year of manufacture for the MF 180 tractors?  I have been unable to put my hands on one...   Of current particular interest is the year of manufacture for serial number 645002327.

Thanks!

John,

I have MF data that shows 2042 made in 1965 and 2714 in 1966 - made in Detroit.

RE:MF 180 Serial Numbers listing??

John -  I have a book with some Massey Serial Numbers.   These are MF 180 #
1965 -- begin with 645000007
1966 -- begin with 645002423
1967 -- begin with 645004713
After Mid 1967 MF - 135, 150, 165, 175, and 180 all were in the same Serial sequence, so it's hard to tell how many are 135, 150, 165 and so on.
1967 -- begin with 9A1000
1968 -- begin with 9A39836
1969 -- begin with 9A63158
1970 -- begin with 9A87325
1971 -- begin with 9A107597
1972 -- begin with 9A128141
1973 -- begin with 9A152025
1974 -- begin with 9A179544

John and Jerry,

Thank you for your responses.  Now there is still a bit of a puzzle, especially with respect to my serial number of interest (645002327).  Now I have two sources of information which don't align, and this serial number falls into that small area of misalignment.

If there were only 2042 built in 1965 as per John's data from MF, the serial number above would be a 1966 model.  However, per the information in Jerry's book, it would be a late 1965 model...   Interesting.

Are there any third pieces of information out there??  ;-)

Cheers,

JB
