770/Family Tractor question

So my Grandfather Harold Fox bought a 770 Diesel NF Power booster new in the late 50's as near as I can guess. It had the early production decals and horizontal bar grill. I was wondering what the production numbers might be on 770's optioned like that? I haven't seen many diesel narrow fronts much less one with the power booster. It may have also had a 3pt but my pictures of it are packed away due to being in the middle of a move.


My second question is a long shot. Harold passed in 86 and they sold this tractor in 87 at an auction on the farm on the east side of 11 mile rd. just north of Burlington, MI. I was wondering if anyone may have been there or have run across this tractor. When it was sold it was in very nice shape. He had always shedded it and taken good care of it. For reference also sold at the sale was a 1655 WF DSL over/under, 77 RC NF DSL, 66 RC NF gas which went to the branch county fair grounds. Any help would be appreciated on this thank you.
 
Well another thing the 770 diesels received the Roosa Master injection pumps in the summer of 1960. So when you look at the pictures and you have one of the left side of the engine look at the injection pump. Around here a 770 diesel would have more common than a 770 gas. If it has a 3 point see if it was a 3 point hydra hitch or the power traction hitch which Oliver was promoting. They were not too popular around here. At one time there probably 40 model early 770 tractors around here and at least half were diesels. Good luck in your search!
