Tangential extractors have the frames set with the outside of the extractor and need to be reversed.  Radial extractors are the "pie shaped" like spokes on a wheel.  Are you sure yours is tangential?  It sounds awfully large for a tangential.
   
  What is the surface?  Painted metal?  Stainless steel?  Is it rusty and pitted?  A good scouring with an SOS pad and recoating with Camcote or other food-grade epoxy might be helpful.
   
  Is the manufacturer still in business?  I bought an old Dadant extractor and wrote the company.  They sent me a sheet of parts and plans.
