That MF65 is very similar to my 1964 MF-135 diesel. To work on the 3pt hitch hydraulics, you need to remove the seat and then remove the large lift cover on top of the hydraulics unit (which is integral with the transmission and rear end). That lift cover is pretty heavy, so use an engine hoist to save your back. Once the cover is off, you have access to the position and draft control mechanisms.

This photo shows the lift cover on my MF135 (on top of the hydraulics unit and aft of the gear shift)



Parts availability should be no problem.

If you decide to buy that 165, get the manuals (operator, service, parts) and post back here for help in fixing the problem(s).
