Talked to a guy that has done several of these conversions in years

The only motor in the 1403 ran a hydraulic pump. Should be able to just
replace the motor with a current off-the-shelf motor as speed is not
critical.
There are at least two motors, one for the print train (or chain) and
one for the hydraulic unit. The 1403N1 might also have a third motor
for the power cover; I just can't recall how that worked now, but I
think the hydraulic unit only ran the carriage (and the carriage tape
assembly), and the print train motor certainly only drove the print
train, so I suppose I'm leaning toward the existence of that third motor...
