I don't have any production data to back it up but I've seen a lot more D17s with PS than without.

When we sold them till 1962 we never put power steering on them.
Good Luck!

I've only seen ONE without power steering in 30 years of chasing them, so I'd say 98% had power steering.....it was still an option even on the series IV model.

The 1957 D17 that I have came from the factory without power steering and a Char-Lynn unit was added sometime later on,which is still on the tractor today. So I guess that would be one of the 2% that didn't have power steering. Rick

I don't remember the tractor but I do remember dad telling about a 58 D17 that he bought new without power steering. He used it for a day or two and called the dealer to have power steering put on.
