Power steering was optional on the D17, up until the series IV i think, then it was standard. If you have a series I, then it may not have it

The D19 was the first AC tractor to have power steering as standard equipment

It could be either way. On an early diesel, the pump is piggy-backed on the generator. A gasoline would have a separate pump on the upper left side of the engine.

Series 1 and 2 gas had the power steering pump mounted between the governor and the distributor.

as stated the power steering was optional on early D17's as well as other tractors. Loaders were few compared to today, and early loaders were crude, only for lifting.
Hydraulic buckets came later with better hydraulics.
Equipment was smaller and a well lubricated front spindles, etc, made a easy steering tractor: power steering was pretty new and few tractors as well as cars had them.
Our '53 WD, new '57 D14, and new '57 did not have P/S, the next D17 did however when a 4 row cultivator was used, but still no loader.

I think Power steering became standard on the D17 in 1959.
