Tonight I completely took apart a hub for the first time.
@Netakure has been helping me out off forum and pointed me towards this:

I bought these:

https://www.sjscycles.co.uk/hub-spares/shimano-fhm475-rear-left-cone-seal-ring-m10-y22098080/
thinking they would include the washers (10, 7, 7, 7, 7 and 5 in the above linked diagram - I thought parts 6 and 9 encapsulated them but I dunno) between cone and locknut but misunderstood the units from sjs - they're not the cones and locknut, just the cones and seal-rings.
So, while taking apart the hub hasn't got me any further forward with actually having a mtb to ride, it's been educational. I'm going to contact the guy I bought the wheels off and ask for some money towards a new hub, which gets me (with a bit of work) a refreshed hub, replaced freehub and no re-lacing the wheel.
