Beautiful mixer, I have an older N50 and can tell you yours is much newer than the N50 made in the 50's. Couple of tells, first the decals are the newer style, it has the newer gear stick with the black knob, and the plate that the power switch and gear stick is the newer bigger size and the power cord comes out of the head where the older version comes out of the base. If I had to guess I'd say late 90's early 2000's? Give Hobart a call with the serial number you you could get the exact date easily. Either way you have a great piece of equipment that will most likely out live you and your grandchildren :D It's been 2 years since you posted the video so I'm sure you figured out that the meat grinder attachment is for another brand of mixer and wont fit, I know this as I have a Dormeyer mixer as well.
aardvarkiq Hi, Thanx for all the info. I have not used the meat grinder so didn't know it wouldn't work. Maybe I should try and sell it, not sure it's worth much though. I got it to make pizza dough mainly.
It was in 1974 that HOBART ELECTRIC MANUFACTURING COMPANY became HOBART CORPORATION. I joined HOBART France in 1975, these labels were thus, 3 sizes. I had them in pieces. In my opinion, I think that in 74 HOBART changed the labeling. I was in the weighing service, I just left at the beginning of the year and in 1989 I joined the kitchen pro service, Kitchenaid was sold in 1992 to Wirhpool and the N50 was the Kitchenaid model G until that HOBART integrates it into its "professional kitchen" catalog. ua-cam.com/video/QxcSDdOeIX0/v-deo.html&ab_channel=VintageMixersandMore You are right, given the condition this N50 is less than 40 years old, your dates are also possible. Bonne journée.
Hi, Thanx for reminding me to update this Video. No, I fiddled around with it for a while and tried to figure out how to possibly make an adapter for it. But in the end it just wouldn't say together and remain engaged. Too bad because this would have been an Elegant way to use my Mixer to make Ice Cream.
So jealous! I love the Hobart n50. Used it in my baking class and fell in love. But they are not indestructible. Saw a 30 quart paddle broken like a dinosaur took a bite. Lol. Came to find out it was hardened brown sugar. Jeez. Anyhow, good luck with your Hobart. Also how did your dulce leche turn out? :)
I admit. I have the same type of ice cream maker. Water, salt and ice. Freezing a bowl for 15 hrs is too much. Glad it came out good. Happy New year. :)
So, after the test of making ice cream, did the angled teeth on the spindle stay engaged with the teeth on the mixer blades? You mentioned it was a loose fit. How did it work out?
@@russ5024 Haven't done that yet. But was thinking about it last weekend that I should do that. Was thinking about taking it apart and powder coating it. Wife doesn't appreciate the industrial look as much as I do!
No real comparison though, unless you are speaking of a "really" old Kitchenaid made by Hobart. Like this one: img1.etsystatic.com/035/0/7667923/il_570xN.601986541_ebdw.jpg Otherwise you couldn't give me a kitchen aid. Thhey have plastic gears and break easily
Les Garten I WAS speaking of a KitchenAid that was made by Hobart. I was thinking of purchasing one that was made in either 1970s, 1980s, or 1990s to start off with and then get the newer models being made today.

The grinder in the video is for a Dormeyer mixer. When you get the attachment hub retaining screw out you will need a Hobart meat grinder/food chopper
So that one won't work?
@@lesgarten Nope! Did you ever get the thumbscrew removed & replaced?

I wonder if this will work on my Hobart c-100 🤔
I couldn't get it to work on my N50. The paddle wouldn't stay engaged to the spindle.
Can you specifically tell how much did you pay for your Hobart N50 Stand Mixer?
Been a long time, don't really remember. It was quite a bit though, around $500-650, something like that.
Les Garten Ehhh, I think I'll keep looking for a used KitchenAid.

Hopefully I could find a Hobart N50 that is at least at $100.
