This is an incredible series. Recently inherited a 1950s era KitchenAid mixer from my grandmother. I want to give it the same treatment and this will be very helpful. Cheers!
I find the older Hobart speed control levers that you've replaced have a much harder knob on the end which is less likely to fall off or break. I'm not really sure of the new design implemented before or after Hobart sold KitchenAid to Whirlpool. The bend in the metal part of it is a fairly recent development as I had to replace a lever on KitchenAid from the 90s.
Thanks. The trim band may be for the tilt head. it does have a small slot opening for a lock/unlock lever which our mixer does not have. Other than that, it fit perfectly and works great
The gear housing is very large and doesn't channel the grease exactly where it is needed. The system slings a lot of the grease out away from the gears and it clings to the housing walls and does nothing. Using 4 ounces of grease for this project helps keep some of the grease in close to the gears and provides long term lubrication.
You should see one of Mr Mixer's video for regreasing a KitchenAid mixer. He also uses an NSF grease but this is much thicker and very white not translucent like the grease in this video. You can't even see any of the gear teeth when Mr mixer was done regreasing a mixer.
Isn't there bronze bushings on each end of the armature? Don't they need to be oiled? Did I miss the part where you replaced the brushes and feet? Because I was looking for part numbers! Edit: No. There is bronze bushing in the rear that has a fabric wick that needs to be oiled. The front of the armature has a bearing that needs to be greased!
I did not service the electrical motor components or replace the brushes. Sorry, I don't have those part numbers. I cleaned the feet but did not replace them (they were still in very good condition)

Thank you for your great videos, so helpful

Amazing Job ❤❤

The shade of blue doesn't reveal until the last few seconds of the video... it is a very beautiful color... great work and video series..
Thank you so much 😀
Nice series. That new trim band appears to be for the tilt head mixer, not the bowl lift mixer.

Why SO MUCH GREASE?
