I have a MF 165 that also got fuel in the oil after setting a couple months. I was told due to the age of the tractor the injector pump might be leaking thru slow. I haven't had a problem with it running, what little I do use it. When I found it I changed the oil & filter, and shut the fuel off when I park it now. (I was also told if you leave it in the crankcase it might get hot enough to ignite, which could cause a whole other set of problems!!)
Good luck with it, hopefully somebody that has more knowledge than me will be by shortly & give us both some advice.
