Hi there You can get parts at www.hobartparts.com But to be specific you need to download the parts catalog of your mixer model because everything all the parts are bought with a part number

Fantastic video. Parts are apparently no longer available for my C-100. It is leaking oil from the front auxiliary port. I would think gaskets and such are pretty standard in size for this simple area. Any thoughts on how to keep / revive this mixer without buying new?
If you remove the bearing from the shaft and insert it into the housing, then install the chimney, you can install the shaft last after the chimney. When I put the chimney in i prefer to only be dealing with the chimney without the shaft for the best seal. Sometimes you have to sand / file the shaft to remove the bearing. The washer that goes on from underneath can bugger up the shaft.
Hola jose te felicito!!! Me Encanto el video muy informativo y me sivio mucho para entender el problema que tiene mi mixer... que Dios te bendiga y porfa sube mas videos!!! Mi batidora es hobart L800 basicamente es igual la transmicion y el problema comparado con la L-600?
Hola bendiciones. Me alegra que te Halla sido util el video seguire subiendo mas. La l800 basicamente casi es similar la transmission pero si hay algunas diferencias pero en cuestion de oil leaking son iguales.
Hi there This sockets are made by KT Pro They don’t sell them any more as a set I have seen some on eBay Look it up under the maker brand and they are call bearing locknut socket On Hobart machines the more common to use are N03, N04, N06,N07 Now the one that I have keep looking for spare is N06 that one might be discontinued or don’t know why the maker is not making it anymore N04 and n06 is used on the 60qts at least get a N04 I’ll make your job a lot easier. Good day sir God bless.
Yes it pop out by doing that, but is always better to just break the glass and stick a screw driver to make it pop the reason is Hobart redesign the transmission case mixers around 25 to 30years old they have an edge inside behind the glass that stops the glass in the edge also this design has a gasket behind the glass vs the 40 to 60 years mixers they don’t have the edge or gasket those pop very easy the ones with the edge inside the transmission case need to be broken to get it out. Once out clean the surface really good with acetone and use oil resistance gasket maker to reinstall Hope this helps I might make a video replacing the oil gauge

Can you explain better your question? As I try to understand the planetary should come down easily by removing the 9/16 bolt that keeps the planetary in place should slide down easily as long the planetary is not frozen in place what I mean sometimes planetary hasn’t been down in years and sometimes won’t slide down as it supposed to that’s when other techniques to get it down are necessary
Nice video! I currently have a leaking issue and seeing this i think a have found the origin of the problem. I have a doubt with the speed control shaft how did you loos that? Its posible to replace it whitout removing the cover of the gear box?
Sorry for the late reply. I kind of didn't understood your question in regards of the speed control ,but if this helps the shifter can be removed without removing the transmission, but in all my years i have almost never seen a broken shifter maybe couple what am trying to say maybe the issue is something else good luck.
The tools are made by kt pro bearing lock nut A kit runs around $450 to $750 The kit is hard to find but there are some up there so look on goggle you might find it although right now it looks out stock KT Pro® A4414NPE more details on - www.carid.com/kt-pro/bearing-locknut-socket-7-pcs-set-mpn-a4414npe.html
I need your help I have Hobart mixer D340 40 quart I take transmission gear out I’clean up and change oil then I put it back Speed 2 working the speed 3 working and the first gear not working can you help me why thank you
Hi thanks for your comment. D340 2nd and third works with a clutch those 2 speeds are the easiest one to get going, now first is very tricky, your first is located on the gear with 10 rollers and the 10 springs rollers like black thing pieces, most of the time those need to be replaced with new ones about $5.00 each you need 10 of those, if the gear that holds the rollers and spring rollers that should do it. You mentioned in your comment that you change the oil, let me tell you d340 works with grease not oil I repeat not oil,the reason that you might have found oil or liquid in it is because over the years with out maintenance the grease becomes oil that's why you might have tough it need it oil but no it needs grease 12 to 15lbs off grease. Let me know if I answer your questions.
@@calucoelsv thanks for your reply. I did have the rollers and springs replaced about 20 years ago. But the machine was in storage and not used since it was replaced. So it is still basically new. I did clean everything and put it back together to test it (no grease yet). At 2 and 3 speed setting the mixer does turn and work like it should. At 1 speed setting it turns but if I hold onto the mixing part the pressure makes not turn. So if I tried to use it to mix anything it won’t turn against the pressure. It’s like tire wheels when a car is in neutral. It can turn but there is no power or force behind it. How can I fix that? Do I need to grease it to work? Thanks again
@@schau1266 ok . Basically that's where your 1st apeed is, the next suspect is the gear where the rollers sit, the one with the 10 spaces that gear should have sharp edges one side might be sharper than the other side used the one that feels more sharp, if you don't feel any side sharp the gear needs to be replaced, also check position of the spring the metal pieces should be in front of the rollers if you stand next to the shifter start putting one roller first than in front of the roller put your spring roller, do it 1 by 1
Wow that’s a big deal because planetary has to come down hall transmission has to come out basically is the same process as the 60qt video except that a 1401 is more complicated job to do is not easy planetary is very heavy you need 2 to 3 guys to properly get it down with out getting hurt I don’t have the manual at the moment but in regards to parts need it don’t remember is there are o rings in there a proper clean up free of oil and a good oil resistance gasket maker should do it hope this helps I recommend hiring a professional to get it done correctly.
I really wanted to teak it apart but I have no choice. I will try and see what inside it..please calucoelsv if you find any RUclips shows how you teak apart. Because I found nothing about this model. Thanks again brother 🙏
Hi In regards of your question Only two or 3 reasons why this happens #1 too much oil in the transmission but you already said that oil level is ok, double check that oil needs to be on the black line that says oil level #2 very unlikely this happens if you transported the unit from one location to another oil moves and finds is way out also if someone lay it down #3 again unlikely but could happens on of the two needle bearing is damaged or broken allowing oil out. Something to know there is not a actual seal in the hub that prevents oil leaks that’s why is important to double check the oil gauge to make sure is not above the oil level line
The white plastic chimney has a oring seal , you left the oring in the case and did not mention it. it is the main seal to stop oil from leaking down. it should be replace every time you pull the chimney. the steel chimney uses a paper gasket with pematex#2. The sealant you say to use silicone alone will not seal the plastic chimney good, will leak after a of year. The O-ring part # 00-067500 -102 is the most important seal for plastic chimney. it fits around the bottom of the chimney bottom lip.
Good point i didn't mention it but like I said on the video is my first video, out everything i didn't mention the chimney O ring, is also good to mention,so other people dosen't get confused, that older h600 don't need O rings, and on the newer h600 models I guess from 1985/till hobart ended the H600 model, hobart added the O ring for the plastic chimney. So ill I'll say just look if your mixer has plastic chimney pretty sure will have O ring, if it has metal chimney doesn't need and O ring ,but double check to make sure...
Assuming you mean the square drive for the attachments, first remove the screw down the centre, it is a left handed screw. Then the square drive itself is threaded down the centre so insert a screw and if the key is not too scored in the shaft you can pull out the square drive using the screw. If the shaft is seized you can use a slide hammer with a long threaded rod. It sometimes takes a bit of patience. The worst I have ever had required replacing the hub gear as everything was seized so badly.
Hello Am not familiar with this model, but let me tell you what happens with Hobart mixers when they do that, Hobart has a gear called clutch this clutch controls speed 2 and 3 on top of the gear could be speed 2 on bottom speed 3 this clutch has teeth on top and bottom over time the teeth ware out this ware out don’t allow the clutch to engage properly with the gear it supposed to engage it just skips causing the speed increase on #2
Hi glad you liked the video. In regards of your question there aren't special tools to remove planetary that don't want to come down only bearing stractors but I have never been able able to get one down with those tools, plus if you try to force it down you might damage it. Go to the next comment to explain how I get it down because there is a way that's the only way how I get it down with out damaging the planetary
I probably will make a video next time I find a stock planetary. #1 I take the transmission out everything has to come out. #2 I also remove the cone inside. #3 once everything is out I put back the transmission cover with the bearing I resemble the cover with 4 screws. #4 I have a hoist I bring down the mixer completely to the floor. #5 once is down I start hammering with a big hammer and a solid round piece of used shaft I keep around for that purpose, hammer upwards and slowly it start to go out 2 people needed it to do this. For us is easy I don't know if I explained good enough but when I get mixers with stock planetary I don't mess to much with it if there is no movement at all I go immediately to do what I explained above hope this helps a bit.
@@calucoelsv I saw that you had removed planetary at the beginning of this video. how did you achieve it? There are two tapped holes underneath. did you use those? or just pry it?
gu oh that's easy as long the planetary is not frozen in place. Just remove the stainless ring or oil drio cup it only has 2 small screws. Once that's done proceed to remove planetary underneath is a 9 /16 screw remove it 2 person need it to safely remove it one needs to hold the planetary while someone else remove the screw if the planetary is not frozen in place it should slide down very easily.

Hi Jose
This is a good Video 👍
do you have similar video for Blakeslee xt-500 mixer?
If you remove the bearing from the shaft and insert it into the housing, then install the chimney, you can install the shaft last after the chimney. When I put the chimney in i prefer to only be dealing with the chimney without the shaft for the best seal. Sometimes you have to sand / file the shaft to remove the bearing. The washer that goes on from underneath can bugger up the shaft.
That’s correct Inserting the bearing and than the chimney is the more clean and easy way to do it

Where did you get those special sockets to remove the threaded locks on top ?
Hi there
This sockets are made by KT Pro
They don’t sell them any more as a set
I have seen some on eBay
Look it up under the maker brand and they are call bearing locknut socket
On Hobart machines the more common to use are N03, N04, N06,N07
Now the one that I have keep looking for spare is N06 that one might be discontinued or don’t know why the maker is not making it anymore N04 and n06 is used on the 60qts at least get a N04 I’ll make your job a lot easier.
Good day sir God bless.
you have quite an assortment of mixers that need servicing! do these mixers have problems or fail that often?
How do I replace the oil gauge sight glass? Does it pop out with a pry tool from the outside? Does the replacement simply pop in afterward?
Yes it pop out by doing that, but is always better to just break the glass and stick a screw driver to make it pop the reason is Hobart redesign the transmission case mixers around 25 to 30years old they have an edge inside behind the glass that stops the glass in the edge also this design has a gasket behind the glass vs the 40 to 60 years mixers they don’t have the edge or gasket those pop very easy the ones with the edge inside the transmission case need to be broken to get it out.
