Without seeing a photo (or better yet, video) of the wringer, it's a little hard to determine the issue. However, it sounds like "the tab" you're referring to is the cam for the water diversion plate. If it's made of bronze with a split in the ring around the shaft, then that's what it is. It could be bound due to corrosion and/or hardened grease.
The top tension bar should just lift up to separate the rolls, unless the bearing hangers on the side are rusted and bound. Take a few pics and perhaps I can help you more advice. I've completely restored 5 of these machines thus far. |

Ok. It will be a few weeks before I get back up there. Does the roller run all the time when the motor is on or is there some activator like there is for the agitator? |

for two different models. The one with the red release bar on top is the Model 32, and the other is a Model 30. Which one is yours?

It engages the wringer rolls in either forward or reverse, and then when pressed down, releases the index pin to allow the wringer to swing into various positions (when using rinse tubs behind, for example.)
The machine looks rough (cosmetically), but I've restored worse to beautiful "show room" condition. If you're thinking of keeping it, I'd suggest cleaning out the wringer head (gear box) of old grease and replacing with NLGI Grade 2 grease. At 2:23 in the video link, you can see the various components of the wringer head disassembled. Hope it helps! CLICK HERE TO GO TO bradross's LINK |
