20 Most Recent Hobart N50 Stand Mixer - Page 9 Questions & Answers

If your N-50 is making a grinding noise there is a strong (almost certain) possibility that the cause is more than just needing more grease. The sources of the noise are from the transmission case (front portion of the motor housing) and/or the planetary (where the blade attaches). A search online should turn up the N-50 Service Manual. With luck, it may be that the two adjustments specified in the Service Manual will do the trick Three things come to mind regarding the noise: 1) If simply greasing the planetary does not do the trick, then 2) There are two adjustments to the transmission detailed in the Service Manual. And if that is not the cure 3) The transmission housing will need to be removed to find the source of the grinding. This is where the grease is truly encountered.

That machine is not made to mix dough in 2nd gear!!!

a new shaft to replace the broken one get it from Hobart spares for the model

Does the shaft the motor derives spin freely? Either the motor is being overloaded or the motor is failing.

that is because you are overloading it. the 400 watt is only a medium power. I have a 800 watt stand and i do load it and it takes it. do you have it on an extension cord? are you using the wrong attachment? regards sir jdht

Do you really mean a 60 qt. mixer? That is industrial size and would be about 4' tall. Maybe a 6 qt. mixer? In either case, oil coming out around the shaft cover indicates that someone either over-lubricated the mixer or used the wrong viscosity lubrication. Has it been serviced recently? You might need to take it back to wherever it was serviced.
