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.

The mixer would not operate so I took out the brushes. Work afterwards but was a little noisy so, considering the advanced age of the machine and after doing research, I decided to replace the worm gear and bracket.
I followed the instructional video linked to my email order confirmation. Partselect provided one of the best how-to videos I've ever seen. With the right tools, a little patience and the video, I had an outstanding repair experience.

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.

Watched a YouTube video to disassemble,from there went smoothly. One small piece of advice,take pictures with your smart phone during the process. Makes remembering easier.

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.

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.
