Hard to say what caused the damage--maybe it was dry or had dirt in the oil. The fluid is pretty viscous so as long as there is no seal surface over the wear or any kind of sloppiness with the rotor, I would try it and see.

Never tried sourcing anything & other than rebuild kit, never needed anything. I know rotor kits are (were) available last one I rebuilt so maybe still are. I believe but will not swear to it that they are Eaton pumps and if so, versions were also used on Ford and Studebaker products thru the 60's. Some of their vendors might be an option if ours do not have anything.
