stripped worm gear

i disassembled the mixer until i could remove the worm gear; is in a housing that that includes another gear and shaft. make sure you have a magnetic tray to put parts in as you work or you will spend more time looking for parts than reassembling the mixer. once you have the gear housing out you will need a small diameter punch to drive out the pin that holds the gears in the housing(i used a 5/32 transfer punch.) make sure you punch the pin out where it will be caught or you will need to order that part because you will not find it. after knocking the pin out it is just a matter of removing the old gear, putting the new one in, and reversing the steps and getting everything reassembled.

Old screw cap wore out and would not hold bowl when mixing heavy batters.

Unscrewed old Screw Cap, tapped it out with hammer. Replaced with new screw cap that was slightly different and tight. Tapped it in with piece of wood over it and hammered it on. No problems.

bowel would come out of screwcap when making dough for pasta

The repair was easy only requiring a phillips head screw driver to remove the old screw cap. The new screw cap fit snuggly and required a little downward pressure from my hand to seat it. Then I simply tightened the screws. Good as new for this 30+ year old mixer. My wife loves this mixer that was given to her by her Aunt. Glad we could keep it going.

Updated 1970's KitchenAid Mixer Electronics

I did some research and evaluated a modern day Kitchen Aid Mixer. Looked a the wire diagram and found out what items I needed. Ordered them from Partselect. Overall Mixer is updated and running. I made up some cookie dough with it. The Project took a few evenings due to rewiring the coils on the motor/armature and modifying the rear bearing bracket to hold the Phase control board (not OEM on 70's mixers). Then put it back together and adjusted the speed control.
