CAT D3-79U blade swivel cap needed

Looking for the 6-way blade swivel cap for our newly acquired CAT D3-79U (s/n D3 79U 0809). We just got this machine this morning as a trade to use for our small mining operation that runs well with good hydraulics other than slight seal seepage in the blade lift cylinders, and a loose track on the left side. It was unloaded from the delivery trailer on its own power, so despite the obvious it looks like a winner. Not sure of the age but will research the S/N to find out. Once we get things taken care of and move it up to our mine we'll be looking at selling our 1955 D47U and maybe our Deere 450B. Any help or leads for the swivel cap and maybe a cap for one of the two pivot pins are most appreciated. Thanks, -Tom
