My Ford 4000 power steering ram is leaking badly from the ball joint shown in the attached photo. It will bleed out the entire contents of the resevoir/pump in about 4hrs of working.

Where can I find a parts diagram or listing of what parts I need to repair?

I assume you have the I&T FO-31 manual. If not get it.
Overhaul and reseal on that cylinder is covered pretty well. Parts are still available from CNH. They are not difficult to go through.
