The second and third gears are all working. Everything is working except the first gear.
Look also for rounded teeth on the gears themselves. Worn tooth corners can cause the gears to become unmeshed, & the shift fork may not be able to keep the gears meshed.
You are going to have to get your hands dirty and open the gearbox. Could be a selector problem or issue with the shaft. If you need parts try Hobart themselves or get in touch with Ann at http://www.MaterialsTestingEquip.com
The selector would be the rod/shaft that actually moves the transfer gear to the selected speed gear.
If you are in any way unsure about what you are doing, do not take this machine apart.
If you look inside the gearbox and see how the internals move when you select a gear you should be able to see what happens when you select first. Look too see if the selector actually throws far enough to engage the gear. If not the selector could be bent.
I will see if I can find a service manual for the mixer to help you.

does anyone have a picture of a selector?
or can anyone explain what a selector does and what it looks like?
Thank you for the suggestion. I will try to do what you say. Thank You.
I am writing this for my dad because he forgot to mention a very important thing. He said that the number one gear worked when he tightened the "stop nut" (flexloc). However that part and the other parts below it started to get warmer. He put grease below the stop nut to prevent the warming. Also, if the stop nut is loose, it still works a little but when you grab the thing that makes the hook go around, it stops it from moving. Do you know what could be the problem? Thanks for the help.
