Kitchen aid are amazingly well built machines and probably the best mixer on the market for both home use and small commercial, the modern one have nylon cogs/gears. The old ones, like this will last forever!! You will never need to buy another mixer.

yes, they changed to the nylon gear as a weak point to protect the gear box. and as a side note, if you are replacing a stripped nylon gear, never buy an aftermarket one. get the oem part from kitchen aid or your going to be doing it again in a few weeks. Ask me how I know!

They changed to nylon pinion gear to prevent the damage to the operator. They were so powerful with the case hardened steel pinion, it was strong enough to pull you into the mixing bowl with your bread dough. Not a good look for the cooking challenged amongst us. 🙂

Although I did have to compile the firmware, as the BLTouch version on the ender site didn't work correctly.

I’ve watched several videos about this mixer, and none of them mentioned how to adjust the revolutions per second. Good to know. I’m also shocked by that gear being metal and not nylon. I imagine it serves that same purpose as shear pins on a snowblower. If something jams it, the sacrificial piece saves the motor/trans. Wonderful video. Thank you.

Yes agree, if you bought a modern day mixer, I'd be amazed if you got a couple of years out of it before it was ready to go in the bin. I have one of those "Ninja" food processors. The blending jug cracked on the 3rd use around the base where the motor shaft goes through, and food processor bowl a bit broke off where the lid attaches. Very poor quality IMHO.

Good to see this! Yes, these things are tanks. You got a good price as well. I just got back from the flea market and saw three for sale, two were the non-lift bowl types. You don't really have to change the grease, since they do come with a lifetime amount, but I agree if I were to open it up I would too. If I recall, the reason why these are so tough and easy to repair is the original models were made by Hobart, the manufacturer for large commercial stand mixers, and the design hasn't changed much in 100 years.
