Mixer, round 3

trombonishTuesday evening I was thinking of being useful, but very tired, but thought I'd just *look* at what it would take to put the white mixer back together. And then looking up videos, because a week and a half and a second mixer meant I didn't really remember how it went anymore. But one thing lead to another and I got it all greased and put back together (though I wasn't super sure how much grease to use and have more left over than I probably should). It's reassembled, and I'm reminded of just how annoying that primary pin is to get in and out.
Fixing the motor brushes did indeed fix the not turning on thing, and she once again GOES. Very exciting.
I'm a little concerned that things are still not completely RIGHT. It makes more noise while running than I remember from before, but I haven't run it in more than a year so maybe I'm forgetting? It also does not any longer differentiate between "stir" and "2" on speeds, which I think it did before? But it DOES run, and that's a major improvement. I put it through some quite heavy work yesterday (grinding fat/meat) and the motor got quite hot but neither leaked nor smoked. So I'm counting it as "done" which is very happy for a project that has been lingering for a year.
Parts for the black, bowl lift mixer are here, and I will get to that... Sometime.
