JohnM The MF 65 was probably a nice tractor, but it is not all that difficult to purchase a complete, running tractor for not too much money. I have seen them go at auction from $1650 to about $2800.

It would need too many expensive parts to ever be worth doing, otherwise, Still, if you insist, and if they GIVE the tractor to you, feel free to give it a try. Just don't reveal the cost to your wife!
