Teath missing from Worm Gear
Scott - April 28, 2017

Mixer
Difficulty
Medium
Time
15-30 minutes
Tools Used
Screwdriver, Hobart Grease, small wood spatula
I got my can of grease that I bought when the original plastic transmission cover broke and was replaced with the new cast metal cover 4 years ago. When the mixer didn't turn the beater shaft, I took the cover off, using a #2 Philips screwdriver, and then the transmission cover using the same tool. When I had it open, I discovered that 2 of the teeth on the Worm Gear had been broken. I didn't see this on the original repair and unless the gear stopped exactly at that spot, the machine ran fine.
I then removed the Transmission cover gasket, and the Worm Gear with the Front, Rear, and Thrust Bearings. I repacked the case with grease and greased the Worm Gear teeth and shaft, then installed the new Thrust Bearing and Front and Rear Bearings. I placed the assembled Worm Gear in it's proper position and set the gasket and Transmission Cover in place and reset the screws and tightened them down. I then plugged the machine in and tested it. Upon being satisfied that it was in proper running order, I replaced the cover.

Drive gear stripped due to cracked transmission housing
Michael - March 31, 2017

Mixer
Difficulty
Easy
Time
15-30 minutes
Tools Used
Screwdriver, Socket set
Removed broken gears from inside housing. Cleaned out all old grease to remove any metal pieces. I also used an earth magnet all around here I couldn't get all the grease to pick up remaining metal shavings. And there was quite a few on the magnet. Then greased all new gears and bearings and packed grease around the newly assembled transmission. Then I attached new gasket and fastened it down securely. Then replaced cover and trim and back in business!
