A number of attachments were available for the 4C, such as a juicer, a meat grinder, etc., all of which ran off the PTO on the front of the housing. The only beater, however, was the wire one. No dough hook was ever made. I have been told that the motor didn't have the necessary power to run a dough hook.
Supposedly (based on postings on numerous websites) the 4C only came with the wire whip.
I too just picked up one of these (not for free, but close) that was missing its attachments, but did come with the proper glass bowl and does run.
I'll keep you in mind if I find 2 wire whips and would ask that you do the same for me.
Thanks,

Make sure your Beater can slip in and out of the Beater Shaft
easily. Do not force the beater onto the Shaft if the shaft is bent.
If it cannot be removed easily by hand, use a soft rubber mallet
(not a steel hammer) to slightly tap the beater so it can be moved
up and down the shaft or from side to side. Then you can easily
turn the beater left and remove it from the shaft.
From Kitchenaid Manual:

as far as possible.
5. Turn beater to right, hooking beater over pin on shaft.
6. Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
