One thing that's sure to be inside is rust.
 
I'd fill it with a light oily solvent - maybe diesel fuel?  kerosene?  and let the solvent soak
inside a while.  See if you can turn it by hand, then drain.  Check for rust when draining.  Then
replace all seals and do the cheap oil fill/flush.  I'd even run it for a few days on cheap gear
oil just to see how it shifts, sounds, etc. before filling it with anything costly.

Forget the powerwasher except on the outside.
