Alternative to Type A atf for powersteering

Hello I have a MF 135 tractor with the 3cyl perkins gas engine. It has power steering but level is low. The manual recommends Type A atf which in this day and age is difficult to find. I am wondering if there is a alternative atf that will work in place of Type A and not cause issues eg Type F or Dex II or III or actual power steering fluid.
 

Thanks old I did some google research and found that Type A got changed to dexron. Since every new version on dexron superceeds the last I think I will try Dex III since I have a gallon of it already.
 

Just came across another bit of info stating that dex III is a replacement for Type A. Not sure if there is a 4 or 5 never came across them but I know Dex VI is synthetic so I wont be using it.
 
When I get ATF I get the Dextron 4 or 5. Never get the 6 because if is not made for the older stuff. The dextron 4 or 5 is a universal ATf and is used in all type now
 
Curious as to which side of engine is your perkins gas power steering unit mounted? Just bought a 3 cyl. diesel and plate is on right.
