eBay/Craigslist Ford 800 Series VIN ID help

[RHEINE]

Hi all. I found an 800 series but I can't nail down exactly what 800 model and year it is.
It has a 5 speed with live hydraulics. It does not currently have the cage looking grill guard.
The VIN is S60 or maybe 560 and below 141719

TractorData is ambiguous on the serial. The only 5 speed live they list is the 861. Is that correct?

Thank you. First place I checked. It puts it at 1957 but not a model. Thus the confusion.

I'm betting it's actually an 860, and the first letter that looks like an "S" is just not stamped very clearly...not uncommon. That's the only combination that makes any sense and the 860 did have a 5-speed, and live power.
