That is a MotoMower built tractor (for Massey though), so very great find on that rather rare piece.
Yes, I've done a little bit of research. Duro corp built them for both Moto, and MF, right?
Deck id tag says that, but I have yet to find an ID tag on the tractor.
Anyone know, where they might have hid it?

Picked this up yesterday. 1965 MF8E.
All original except, at some point in time Cat yellow paint was used for touch up.
Runs, needs new fuel pump, and some TLC. Have not had much time with it, other
than to give it a bath. Also came with a 1975 MF8 snowblower.
It's built like a tank, from what I've seen so far.
Yes, a tank for sure. It looks like a different rear axle then the regular Peerless on the later 8's. That is a really nice addition to your collection. Congratulations.

I hate to break it to you Steve, but that yellow is factory correct.That's a great find Will! Looks to be in excellent shape...and the manuals look like new also! as far as the Cat yellow paint goes, it's better than rust colored and pitted IMO. The PO of my Case SC re-painted it with a paint brush...but it's not rusty
I also find it amazing that the PO still had the deck covers! Nice score

Should have the same 3 speed as the JD 110sYes, a tank for sure. It looks like a different rear axle then the regular Peerless on the later 8's. That is a really nice addition to your collection. Congratulations.

MotoMowers use proprietary transaxles (their own).Should have the same 3 speed as the JD 110s
