Maybe you can get some equipment manufacturer to rebuild it as a tax write off. As for the coupling, I would want that replaced they are just too much work if they fail. Our ALCO had a Thomas coupling that drives the auxiliary generator which wasn't too bad to get at. We had to replace drive belts on the rear end and that involved moving the air compressor and the drive for the aux. generator. I didn't get the generator lined properly and was replacing the flexplates every year.
I finally got it right 2 years before I retired and they are holding up well.
