I'd have to say the engine in yours is missing because the previous owner was in the same situation you are now. They had a tractor that needed an engine, so they bought this as a "parts tractor" and took the engine along with who knows what else...
Frankly unless you have an emotional attachment to this particular tractor, I would advise you to look for a complete MF 1200, 1450, or 1650 to use as the project tractor and designate this one as the "parts tractor."

This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule.
