Check around your area to see if these's anyone that knows how to hammer a circle saw blade.
I don't have any experience with 40-42" blades but can tell you that if a 56" blade isn't properly hammered it will not cut useable lumber and can be very dangerous.
I'm more accustomed to production style 56" circle mills with 36" top saws where constant blade speed is a necessity for good lumber, so I don't know if the smaller blades are more forgiving to speed changes or if one just has to slow down and crawl through the log.
1st sawmill I worked at had me turning logs on a Frick 01 hand set stick mill powered by a old J Cummins. Turning logs with a cant hook was hard work but it was better than off bearing slabs.
Not a lot of old hobby mills around here any more after scrape iron hit over $200 per ton a few years ago.
