The hand wheel is at the top right, and inside it is the flat washer with the ball bearings I mentioned in the PM.
This is the same design as my other White made machines so the stop motion knob does unscrew after the lock screw is loosened or removed.

You might need to put a piece of wood under the needle bar to stop the main shaft from turning. But remove the needle first of course. Also it would be good to soak the hand wheel and knob area with oil or Tri-Flow if you can.

But the stop motion knob does unscrew counter clockwise to be removed. And the hand wheel is designed to slide off. Most likely there is old oil holding the hand wheel solid to the main shaft. You need to get the stop motion knob unscrewed and removed to soak the hand wheel shaft area.
