Bought it recently at auction. Took apart the gearbox and cleaned and repacked with grease. Everything looked good. Worked fine for a few months then I lost 1st gear.
There is a small diving key in the gearbox that has most likely snapped. If this is an old model a200 then this part may not be avaliable any more. You would need to contact your local hobart service center to find out if the parts are avaliable still. These are fantastic machine that will work forever and a year, they certainly don't build them like those anymore

Your A200 was manufactured in 1942. It may well be time for an overhaul. If it were only noisy, I would suggest re-greasing it, as that would quiet it down somewhat. With 60+ years on the unit, the odds suggest rebuild time. Before you commit to that, take the top cover off the unit, remove two dust covers, insert a hi-intensity flashlight into one hole and look inside the other, look for excessive wear on the gears. If you see excessive wear, and still want to re-build then call for a Hobart tech and warm up your checkbook, OR, pose the re-build question to bigg t (the Hobart tech on this website). He may be able to help you out. ricardok45

Check the spring pin that locks the motor shaft to the main drive gear in the gear box. You should be able to turn the motor from the back at the cooling fins and watch the shaft spin in the gear, that is if the pin is sheared. That is a common problem. if you plan on keeping this machine for a while, i recomend that you spend a little more on a quality spring pin,

good luck.

Could be that a gear is missing (broken) on the shaft that works the 1st gear. Check out the schematic at

It could be the gear HM2-748
