Sooooo you have a piece of equipment you used for 40 years that needs maintenance and some repairs. You know it's history and performance when functioning properly. You also have comments that gave you leads for replacement parts.

Go out and look at replacement equipment. Look very closely at the materials used and the way it was made. After you looked at what they are selling today ask yourself if you think it will be serviceable in 40 years.

I would do a thorough breakdown, cleaning and reassembly with new parts if I were you. If you do it right you'll use it for another 40 years then hand that equipment down to your heirs.
