You could get PS from the factory, but it was an option and not all had it. D19 was the first AC tractor to offer PS as standard equipment.

I don't think it was available as an option until 1956. There are a lot of earlier models including WD's that have had the factory PS added.

Yes but if you want factory type it's not cheap, usually see them for around $500 or more.

There are other options if you want power steering but don't need the "factory" set up. CHAR-LYNN units have been around for decades and are available new or used.

I bought a setup just like this for $500 for my WD.
You will think you are on a different tractor.
Even comes with a double pulley. A new pulley is worth about $200.
Char-Lynn torque generator is about $500.
The mounting brackets are there also plus the bent actuator rod that goes around the torque generator.

Last summer at the Amana Ia show, someone had everything needed to put P/S on a WD45 and they were asking $1000 for it all.
