If it's the same as the D-17 pull off the grille and you will see a fill plug on the top right side of the front support.
I use power steering fluid from NAPA.

I believe that should be in front of the radiator behind the grill.  Level should be 5/8" above the quadrent gear.  Use type a Automatic trans fluid.  JCinPA

Type A was a real early type for GM cars.
Has been replaced by Dexron Fluids.

These systems on these old tractors work with almost any oil.
Transmission fluid, hydraulic oil, power steering fluid and even 20w non-detergent motor oil.

I believe the D-17 and D-19 have very close to the same steering units and back in the day Allis Chalmers said to just use a S.A.E. 20w oil in the power steering on the D-17.

Thanks for adding that Jeff.  I quoted that out of the manual and after hitting the post button I realized that type A proly wasn't available anymore.  JCinPA

No Problem, If the D-19 manual says Type A they may have found they liked that oil better than the 20w they said to use in the D-17.
Then a Dexron would be the right choice today.

I remember many years ago A type for GM and F type for Ford.
Chrysler was a completely different beast with 7176, ATF+3 and ATF+4.

The 20w in the D17 is good because if the front seal in the pump leakes the oil  goes in to the engine.

I would use the 20w engine oil. Just because of the new friction modifiers in the ATF could be hard on some parts in the pump.
