You saved me by this little tutorial, a plumber would have cost me $200. I cleaned my stovetop but didn't watch you first! I have been 2 weeks without the front burner until I watched the charbroil issue. I have a charbroiler ,too. Fabulous, plus I think regular maintance prevents big bills. It's a home so always worried about fires.

Hello, thank you for your contribution to us do it yourself guys. I have just purchased a Hobart bowl chopper (Buffalo chopper) model 84186. I want to service it before I use it. The only way to access the two oil reservoirs is to turn the machine on its back and remove the bottom cover. There is a drain plug on the bottom of each reservoir but no fill level hole or sight glass, how do know what the oil level is at. Also what type of oil do I use. Thanks for any help you can provide, I cannot find information anywhere. All the best, Joe.

Hi there I have an older model of this mixer and it is getting very hard to turn the handwheel. Would changing the oil as you did help with the hand wheel? Or would that be something else to service? Any advice is appreciated! thanks.

[@Windycityequip]

No, that wouldnt help the hand wheel. I would start by lubing the slide rails on the bowl cradle. If they get dry, they tend to bind up. Most of the time that will fix this problem. Hope this helps! Thanks for watching!

[@breadmn5430]

The owners manual says that some planetary models do not use an oil pump, and should use grease instead. The serial plate on ours is missing, is there a way to tell without dropping the planetary assembly?

[@johno9163]

Any Hobart mixer from 60 QT and larger has an oil pump. 30 QT, 20 QT, and 12 QT use grease. Does your unit have a handwheel to raise the bowl which is found on the larger mixers ? And if you still do not know the model there is usually a number stamped on the bowl, if the OEM bowl, that will show the bowl size.

[@breadmn5430]

What kind of oil goes in for the motor and for the planetary

[@paultsasa1947]

i need to replace the planetary shaft bearing and I assume it will be wise to change the oil seal as well. my question is, do I need to take the shaft pin out in order to take out the seal and replace it? i already got how to replace the bearings. Thanks for your advice.

[@Windycityequip]

Paul Tsasa Absolutely change the seals as long as you are doing the bearings anyways. And no, you do not need to take the beater pin out of the shaft when you do the bearings/seals because once you remove the planetary, the shaft can be pressed downward through the bottom of the planetary. Hope this helps, thanks for watching!

I think this unit does not have ANY place to replace oil. I am assuming there is no place to change oil. 2) Reload grease somewhere? thank you Sir

[@Windycityequip]

Depending on the age of that mixer it could use grease or oil. The newer models use oil and it can be replaced by removing the drain plug on the under-side of the mixer head. And refilled by removing the mixer "top" to expose the gear-box. Then there should be a plug on the top that can be removed to fill the oil. Hope this helps! Thanks for watching!

[@Windycityequip]

+Manuel Caballero Good question. This doesn't have a definite answer, you will have to monitor it though. Oil in mixers doesn't break down as quickly as oil in say, a car engine, because there is very little heat involved. You DO have to conscious of metal shaving and bacteria infiltration (being in a food service application). Usually once every couple of years will do the trick. Just keep an eye on it every 6 months or so. Check to make sure the oil is still the proper color and doesn't look watery. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching!!

Can you upload the video for a V1401 doing the same thing please? I have oil running down the arm that the attachments affix to, so I am guessing that some o-ring, gaskets, and possibly bearings may need to be replaced. Thanks!

[@Windycityequip]

Close but no cigar I don't often see V1401 Mixers around anymore so it is really hard for me to get video of it. But, from what you are describing it sounds like you may need a new Planetary Seal (Part # P-68045). But to change it, the whole planetary has to has to come down and as long as that is coming down you should change the Bearing as well (Part # BB-9-45). It may not be necessary, but Part #s D-67500-21, P-64384-2, and M-67903 could also be contributing and you may want to request the technician have them on hand when doing this job, just in case. I do not recommend any tech who doesn't have adequate Hobart training try to do this as it can get a little complex. Hope this helps, and thanks for watching!!

Ebony Hall I always recommend using the oil that Hobart supplies. There is other gear oil you can use, but I cannot guarantee it will provide the correct lubrication and may damage your mixer. What I CAN tell you is that anything under 90w is wayyy too light for an H600 ;-)

[@theninja376]

Can i use the same oil for both planetary and transmission and how often should i change oil on both

[@Windycityequip]

Yes you can. And honestly, if you changed the oil once every 2 years or so you'd be fine. It doesn't break down as quickly as it does in a vehicle or any other piece of machinery that generates heat. Oil in a mixer can last a very long time. Thanks for watching!

[@cumbiachamacos]

I have a question, Is there are two ol locations for oils ? If so , are they the same or different type of oil in each location ?

[@Windycityequip]

Yes, there are 2 locations. There is the transmission oil (up top under the lid) and there is the planetary (behind the J-Cup) just below the transmission (right above where the hook goes on). They both take the same oil. Thanks for watching!

[@caganb]

The 3/4 inch bolt under the planetary is to drain it. It should be drained then filled until the oil runs out of the allen screw hole. I used to work for Hobart.

What would cause the mixer to stop during a mixing cycle? After about 1-2 minutes it’s started again.

That sounds like the overloads are shutting the unit down. That will happen under a heavy or too heavy load. The overload assy uses small heater assys. that will trip the thermal overload on larger units. After the overload cools down it will reset.

[@ve3enx95]

Thanks for the helpful video. Would you be able to make a similar one for the Hobart N50 tabletop mixer by any chance? (It doesn't have a lid that lifts off like the 60QT one.) Mine is slowly dripping blue oil into the bowl and after several years of this, I'm worried the level might be dropping too low inside. (It doesn't have a sight gauge either to tell the level.) Thanks again for posting!

[@Windycityequip]

+Robert Enenkel If I can get my hands on an N50 I will be sure to post a video on it. It sounds like you may just need new planetary seals. And, if I'm not mistaken, the N50 used grease instead of oil which is why its blue and you don't have a sight glass. Over time, the grease breaks down, just as oil does, and can become runny allowing it to drip. As soon as I come across an N50 I'll be sure to post some videos and let you know. Thanks for watching!

I'll tell you EXACTLY what type of oil to use and why! As a former Hobart Tech who worked on 100's of these mixers, you use Hobarts Mobilgear 634.

Windy City Restaurant Equipment Repair: My employer has told me stories of her 60 qt paddle breaking on the mixer. My question is how does that happen? Is it because the paddle is weak? or is it because it was improperly attached to the mixer? My employer does not fully know how the paddle broke. I'm just curious to find how or even why the paddle might have broken. And by the way this wasn't recent and was not broken by me.

[@Windycityequip]

Rebekah, I've seen this happen before. First, I would ask how the paddle was washed. It CANNOT be put through the dishwasher, ever. The acidity in the chemicals weaken the metal. It also could be that the paddle was not on all of the way and put too much tension on the weakest point OR it could be that the bowl stop is broken so the bowl was lifted too far and the bottom of the paddle hit the bottom of the bowl. I have seen that before too. Hopefully this helps, sorry for the delayed response!

Can you tell me how to remove a dough hook and change oil for a Hobart model 802

[@Windycityequip]

Lisa, I am SO sorry, not sure how your comment slipped through the cracks. Here is how to change the oil: Planetary To check, DISCONNECT ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY and remove the drip cup-splash guard, which is secured by three screws. Remove the Planetary Fill Plug. Oil should be even with the bottom of the fill plug hole. If the oil is not at the proper level, slowly add the recommended planetary lubricant until the proper level is achieved. Replace the fill plug and the drip cup-splash guard. A Planetary Drain Plug is located on the bottom of the planetary. Should draining become necessary, remove the drip cup-splash guard and place a suitable catch pan under the drain plug. Remove the drain plug, allow the oil to completely drain, and replace the drain plug. Remove the fill plug and pour in 6 fluid ounces of the recommended planetary lubricant. Replace the fill plug and the drip cup-splash guard. Contact your local Hobart Service Office for the recommended planetary lubricant. Transmission The transmission oil should be even with the line on the oil level gauge when the motor is NOT running. If the oil falls below this line, DISCONNECT ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY and remove the top cover, which is secured by two screws. Remove the Transmission Fill Plug and add a small amount of the recommended transmission oil until it returns to the proper level. DO NOT overfill the transmission - leakage may result. Hook To install, place hook over the shaft and make sure the pin is in the channel. Rotate to lock in place (hook should drop slightly and pin should rest in channel). To Remove, Lift the hook and rotate in opposite direction. Drop down and remove from shaft.

What oil should i use?

[@jeanjenner1246]

Looking on the internet everybody servicing Hobart mixer seems to have an opinion on what lubricant to use. The Hobart Service Manual I have for the H600/P660/L800 calls for "Mobile Gear 634" for the gear box. As to the planetary, for model with a Planetary oil pump use the same oil "Mobile Gear 634".Without a Planetary oil pump use "Chevron FM EP NLGI 2". The slideways and Bowl lift screws. should be lubricated with a light coat of "Lubriplate 630AA" The bowl lift gearing should be lubricated with "Chevron FM EP NLGI 2"

[@steventhury8366]

How much oil in the main gear section and what type? Thankyou!

Anywhere between 90w -140w will work just fine. I'm unsure exactly how much it holds, but just fill until the oil reaches the center line on the sight glass 👍 Thanks for watching!

[@michelleurps5262]

Is this the same for the Hobart M802 as well?

[@Windycityequip]

Michelle Urps It is very similar on the M802 mixers, but not exactly the same. Instead of there being a pipe on the top of the transmission that unthreads to expose the "fill hole" there is a dedicated bolt that you will need to unthread. However, because it is a closed system, there shouldn't be a need to change the oil ever unless it is contaminated. The only way that would happen is if the seals are bad in your square drive (where the attachments go in) and product discharge is seeping into it. Hope this helps! And thanks for watching!

Palm to the forehead. Lol a "close system"?

[@Windycityequip]

Ariana - Thank you for the comment and I apologize for not going more in-depth on this subject in this video. We do plan on doing a full tutorial on changing the oil in the near future. But to answer your question, these mixers take Hobart specific oil that is only available from Hobart or a Hobart authorized service company. Contact your local Hobart representative for pricing. Hopefully this helps you, and if you have any other questions, dont hesitate to ask!

How do you replace the sight glass?

[@Windycityequip]

The sight glasses are pressed in. To replace you need to drain the oil below the glass, pry out the old one, and then press in the new one. Make sure you use sealant on the new one! You don't want it to leak.

[@jessejessejesse3]

Thanks for the reply. Do you push it out from the inside or just pry it from the outside? What type of sealant? A gasket sealant like you'd put on an oil pan?

[@Windycityequip]

It doesn't really matter if you push it out or pry it out. I've done it both ways and the important thing is that it comes out haha. The new sight glass comes complete with bezel so you don't really have anything to worry about if you damage the old one. Just pop the old one out, clean the inside edges of the hole, and put a bead of silicone sealant around the new one. Press it in tight. Be sure not to hammer on the sight glass itself. Often, I've used a small block of wood so I can put pressure on the whole sight glass at one time and gently tap it in with a mallet. Clean excess silicone off the edge when you're done and you're all set! Thanks for watching!

how do you remove the guard to change the oil?

[@Windycityequip]

If you're talking about the cage, its 3 screws on the collar. Thanks for watching!

Hi does anyone here knows how much oil is to be put in it. I can’t tell by the little window. My Hobart mixer is so old or something. Can any one please tell me how much oil is supposed to be in the machine. Thank you for any help.

[@MrBiglog66]

One gallon

Now I need a hand figuring out the wiring layout on her..

how do you fix the oil leak above the planetary

[@Windycityequip]

This could be many things, but most likely the planetary is overfilled. If it wasnt manually overfilled then the chimney seal is most likely bad and the whole transmission would have to come apart to re-seal it. Usually about $700-1000 job. Hope this helps a bit. Thanks for watching!

hi. can i lay a hobart a200 on its side for transport

[@Windycityequip]

I wouldn't recommend it for a long period of time. Also try to transport in an upright position. I will say that the A200 uses grease, not oil, so unless the grease has liquefied, you shouldnt get a lot of leakage like you would in an H600 or L800. But I still worry about something getting dislodged or displaced by transporting on its side. Hope this helps, thanks for watching!!
