Nice piece of Old Iron - but I have to ask what's the utility of putting together a hydraulic drive when you have everything necessary to add a 3-phase motor and VFD and have a working drive system? Why make extra work for yourself? A VFD would really simplify the control circuitry, a limit switch at each end of table travel and it'd reverse, simples!
I'd be more concerned about the condition of the ways, they'll have a lot more influence on the results you'll get from it than the drive system, so investigate those first to determine whether you have a planer or a boat anchor :)
