My power steering pump is leaking on my 1976 3208 CAT. I would like to locate a repair kit. I also am looking for a rear hub cap for the same Bird.

You should verify that it is actually the pump that is leaking. Most leaks are from the hoses, not the pump. The 25 year old hoses start weeping and leaking at about this age. Most often the pressure hose that feeds to the top of the steering gear is the culprit. Had new hoses made at NAPA. Access is through the floor under the drivers feet.
