Mixer would slip gears under load, finally would not mix under any load
Rather than duplicate previous repair works, I recommend going to this user site and follow their instructions: http://www.neilcrockett.com/mixer1.htm. Once you have done this repair, taking the unit apart is easier to perform this tasks. Order replacement Grease "Benalene 930-2" in the 3.3 oz container and be sure to use the full container to lather all around all the gear components so grease will be available to units for years to come due to heat build up under load. Too, the 3.5 oz container is made for one unit repair job and is available through Amazon. This grease is available on larger quantities if needed / desired. I did order both, a Worm Gear and the Worm Gear and Bracket as I wasn't sure of my mechanical ability to make this repair until I got inside the unit but the worm gear is easily replaced once you clean out all the old grease. The worm gear is a neoprene type gear with all other gears being metal. I assume neoprene is used as sacrificial to save other gears from breaking under loads and years of use.

stripped nylon drive gear
Followed the repair instructions from the manual. ...
I did notice that the replacement part had an extension on it that allowed for the gear grease to be "pulled up" onto the drive gear ( the one that broke), while the unit is running. This feature was not on the original part, but was obviously an upgrade design which was added after my particular mixer was made. I think that the extension on the bracket will help prevent the new nylon gear from binding and stripping as we use the mixer from now on.
I'm glad that PartSelect had the more modern part on hand, and not just an "overstock" from the original, inferior design.

Disassembled gear housing and replaced worm gear/bracket assembly. The hardest part was cleaning and working around what looked like 2 pound of grease. I will contact you again if I need parts for anything. Thanks.

The mixer would not spin so I assumed it was a bad worm gear
I watched a video on how to replace the worm gear. When I opened the mixer I noticed a small screw laying in the grease. I removed as much grease as I could and could not find anywhere that the screw would have come from. All the gears turned and looked fine so I replaced the grease put the mixer back together and it worked fine. I am thinking the small screw must have somehow fallen into the mixer when manufactured. So proud of my 70 year old self for getting the job done.

Plastic worm gear gave way (as designed) when the grain mill over-worked it.
I did exactly what the PartSelect video demonstrated after watching other DIY videos on the Internet, thus I did not remove the stand which seemed like a little too much for a simple straight forward repair. This is the second time I have replaced this gear. The first time was about 10 years ago when the bakelite gear broke on a 30 year old KitchenAid K
-45. That mixer made hundreds of loaves of bread after grinding many pounds of wheat berries. The only reason we had to replace it was that it walked off the flour dusted counter and landed on its head when my wife had her back turned. Otherwise we would still be using it. :-)
Thanks for the excellent service and instructions.
