I have taken apart a 1950 Hobart N50 mixer and had many of the parts replated/restored/painted. I took the pieces back to a Hobart service facility and the technician there put the entire unit back together but has 4 remaining mystery parts left over. (1 part, 4 pieces)
Due to the age of the unit, the service department has no drawings nor parts diagram that give a clue as to where this part goes.
The mystery part is cylindrical and looks like a roller bearing with a hole drilled completely through its center. The part is .687 inches long with an outside diameter of .375 inches and hole drilled through the length with an ID of .220 inches.
On later years diagrams, there is a mention to a part (sleeve) that covers the four bolts that hold the motor into the body and to protect the electrical wire connections. It is not this part.
Do you have a clue as to where this part goes?
Go to www.hobartservice.com, register, then go to select "food machines" in the Product Group, then "mixers"and look for the Discontinued Products, then find the N-50 mixer drawings, they are all there, even the old ones. Look through the "exploded" drawings for your extra parts. It seems to me that the tech who put this together should know if they belong to this mixer or not. Does he work for Hobart? Or is he a repair person who states that he knows how to repair Hobart products. If he does'n't work for Hobart, these parts may have been on his bench BEFORE he looked at your mixer. A true Hobart Tech has access to specs on ALL models and the ability to access the Service Manuals. If you find this solution helpfull, please rate it. ricardok45
WJAD. I'm amazed that Hobart doesn't have the drawings. Address your search to bigg t, the resident Hobart Tech on this website, he may be able to help you.
Could you please send me some info about your repainting and refurbishing of your mixer? I'm looking for a gently used A-200 for a home project and Hobart Gray is not a color I'd like in my kitchen (my N-50 is Hobart Gray). I'd like some idea of how much time it takes to prep. a mixer for repainting, and project cost. Thanks in advance. I'm sure you'll get a lot of use and satisfaction from your project. Regards. ricardok45.

I have been to Hobart's website as you suggest, however, the site does not have the N50 manuals, specs or any drawings from 1950, the year in which my unit was manufactured. The unit was put together by a Hobart Technician at a Hobart facility. We do have the parts drawings from Hobart for all of the parts except for the motor area. These drawings are actually a part of the Instruction Manual, form No. 5328-A, published in March of 1948.
We have subsequntly deptermined that the parts did in fact belong in the motor area and are spacers on the studs that hold the motor to the housing.
If anyone has a parts drawing for the motor area, I would love to have it!
