For push sticks, stay away from stuff like this.
Instead, go for something like [this] (http://www.finewoodworking.com/pdf/Push_Stick.pdf), which you can make yourself. There are all kinds of designs actually, but having more surface area contact the wood is a good idea as it allows you to put more pressure on the wood to keep it in place, both downward towards the table saw and towards the fence and away from the blade.
You can make a featherboard, but you can get a good enough plastic one at Harbor Freight for 5 bucks.
You should get or make a zero clearance insert. Making them can be kinduva pain in the ass, so I would just order one from woodcraft for 20 bucks.
As far as riving knifes go, you could get away with a micro-jig splitter, which might be easier than finding old parts. This is what I did for my saw, also an older craftsman and it works pretty great.
Lastly, eventually you're gonna want to make a crosscut sled as this will make it a lot easier and safer to do crosscutting.
I just bought one of these to try on my table saw: https://www.amazon.com/MJ-SPLITTER-SteelPro-Kerf-MICROJIG/dp/B003E623C0
At least for straight cuts using a zero-clearance table saw insert, I'm hoping it will make things a little safer.

Pair them up with a set of MJ splitters and it's a beautiful thing when you push that first board through the blade like buttah.
