That's a bargain if it works. Apparently the date is hidden in the last three digits of the serial number, so February 1998 seems likely. The only sure way is to contact Hobart themselves. They have a great service department. I have used many Hobart mixers in my catering career.
I found this;
As the previous poster mentions, you can't decipher Hobart serial or ML numbers. I have about 30 pieces of Hobart equipment ranging from mixers to slicers to reach-ins to dishwashers and I couldn't make heads or tails of the numbers. Finally, I got hold of someone at Hobart who I emailed all the model numbers, serial numbers and ML numbers to and they emailed me back the month and year of manufacture. Even after I got the information, I still couldn't figure out where in the serial and ML numbers the manufacture dates were buried.

"Just give Hobart a call, and they should be able to help you (if you're in warranty, sometimes even for free!). Their phone number (according to their website, www.hobartcorp.com ) is 1-888-4HOBART (1-888-446-2278) "------
Well, the advantage of Bosch Mixer mum 6610 is best for large families because of its motor speed which is really high while bosch mixer 6622 is actually amazing, with a dough hook, it has softer bread, and basically idealist for any family. These machines are made to last so the best solution for you would be to contact your supplier so that he can give you specifics but hardly are given, all the same, the bosch 6622 is fantastic in comparison.
Hi DOREEN. Generally speaking your mixer was probably manufactured anywhere between 30-120 days prior to its purchase. Also as a rule, the smaller the appliance, the less time between manufacture date and sell date. Most small kitchen appliance manufacturers don’t like to keep stock in warehouses and similarly, retailers would also prefer not to warehouse excessive stock so they usually order what the need and have it delivered JIT (just in time) to be placed on the shelves for purchase. Now if you wish to peel the onion back further, if you have a serial number for your mixer and you’ve registered it, if you contact Kenwood directly at: http://www.kenwoodworld.com/en-int/Customer-Service/, they should be able to provide you the exact date and time (production run) your mixer was made. I hope this helps. Howard, Burke, VA If this solution was helpful, please rate it, thanks! – hslincoln
If you call your nearest Hobart Parts place they can tell you. If they refuse this simple request, log on to www.hobartservice.com and look in the discontinued products menu, select Food Machines then Mixers and sift through the files until you find the documentation for serial numbers/dates. The lists are not complete and stop in the late 1980's. If you're lucky, you can find out which plant manufactured it, as the first two digits of the serial number indicate where it was built. The serial numbers are not in code, so it's relatively easy to get a date if you do the math. While you're there, download the manuals for parts and operation. You won't find the service manuals..."Top Secret"! Good Luck! Ricardok45.
Hi. Your mixer was manufactured in 1967. If you plan on keeping it, take the outer cover off, gently remove the two metal dust caps with a small screwdriver and look into each opening with a good flashlight to determine the quality and amount of grease in the trans. case.
Ideally the grease should almost fill the space with no oil visible. If you need to look further, I suggest that you open up the transmission cover, to determine the condition of the grease that lubricates the transmission. If you find that oil is seperating from the grease. you would do well to remove all of the oil and old grease and replace it with either Shell Darina EP-2, or Chevron FM ALC EP-2 grease. It's a messy job, but it will add years of life to your mixer.
Check the planetary seal, remove, clean and regrease the planetary gearing. With a mixer of this age, you never know if it has ever been serviced since it's manufacture or not. The grease must totaly encapsulate the trans. gears. As the grease breaks down it's level lowers and it leaves some of the upper gears without lubrication, and will result in preventable wear.
Good luck! If you found this solution helpful, please rate it. ricardok45
