Several will agree with you. Unfortunately, there is nothing you will find that will drop in because of space constraints & location. The modern units need a higher or better mechanical advantage which will require a relocation of unit or modification of pedal arm. There are a couple of people that have made the changes so they can advise their or the best approach.

If you ultimately decide to keep the treadle vac it needs to be rebuilt by a competent person with the knowledge and most important, needed parts that are not included in rebuild kits. Just taking to an ordinary shop--even if you find one--won't do. There is a fellow that has been recommended by more than one poster.
