It's sitting under a tarp, where it appears to have rested for at least the last decade.
The machine appears in perfect shape, the hour meter says less than two thousand! I don't even know if it's 6 volt or 12, but it does appear to have a 3 cylinder diesel.
Any advice on what I should do to get this old horse back in the saddle?

Change ALL fluids. Supply grease and oil to all places that need them. (e.g. owner's manual is a must). Make sure they don't leak. Maybe pull the injectors and put some oil into the cylinders. Turn the engine over by hand (pry bar on starter gear of flywheel if nothing else) to distribute that oil and to make sure the rings aren't rusted fast to the cylinder liners. The water pump seals will probably fail after a little use so plan on that. Find out the proper voltage. The generator or alternator may say on their label or that of the voltage regulator. You may have to chase those down by part numbers. If there's an alternator its most likely 12 volts. Then you need a battery, new fuel and luck. Are you SURE its a MF130? I don't find any mention in CT's catalog of manual or parts. Only 135 and 230. and lots of others.

The MF130, I believe should be a 4 cylinder Perkins not 3, made in France between 1966-1972 @ 27 HP PTO rating, a smaller flavor of the MF135.
