Grinder attachment I have an old Hobart A200. How do you get the cover off to use a grinder attachment? The mixer has a key that turns in and our as well as a small button to push in. The shaft cover is very tight, probably never used or is there some models that were not made to use the grinder attachments? I'd hate to take a chisel to the cap only to find it isn't a cap and crack the head. The only other numbers other than amps etc. are 3942.

Reset Malfunction is 6 Blinks.

Hobart A200 Stand Mixer
Beatriz, I looked through the entire manual, it shows no reverse option. Did you just get the mixer or did you have it repaired. It seams the mixer is either wired wrong or the gears that rotate the mixer were not assembled correctly.
Check the attached link,manual,instruction and guides, Good luck

A200 Hobart Service

The mixer's planetary is not disconnected when the meat grinder is attached and continues to turn.

If the noise you hear only occurs when the grinder is in place, then the grinder may be assumed to be the cause. Consult the meat grinder's instructions and make sure that nothing is loose or overtightened.

On the 4346 mixer/grinder the clutch can't be adjusted. It is a Moorse clutch and will need to be replaced. If you ate handy buy the rebuild kit for the bottom end from Hobart. It's not cheap but once it's done it will last for years. Hope this helps, Food luck

Just get a Hobart #12 grinder. Your local Hobart office will sell you one.

sounds like you sheared the key on the on the ptanetary to main shaft. remove planetary of mixer. you will see how main shaft is keyed to planetary. replace key reassemble , and you will be mixing agian, dont forget to vote, thanks, monomoy

Yes A-200 are number 12 I would find a hobart grinder they will have a big H in the casting on the neck get one with a stainless pan and stomper to push product down the throat. If you wait on Ebay and put it on your watch list they do come along. look for no rust. Make sure it has the big H in the casting. the other after market ones seem to not last long like the metal wears on the worm and hub to fast. also you always know where to get a piece if you need it if its a Hobart. not so with the forign jobs.

amy, depending on how old your mixer is there are 2 types of clutches for 1st gear.these could be your problems--a key is sheared on the shaft--shaft/gear is broken.the bottom part of the mixer where you put on the attachements is called the planetary,does it look like it has moved down?you could tell if the dough hook,wire whip,ect,ect is hitting the bottom of the bowl.if this is the case its just simply tightening the 2 nuts next to the beater shaft.if this is not the case you would have to dissasemble the transmission.let me know.
