kitchenaid stand mixer repair

[Nate]

so I was using my kitchenaid stand mixer the other day to grind up a 16lb brisket for some burger meat, and all of a sudden it just stopped grinding and sounded like it was red lined on the RPM's.

did a little searching on the interwebs and came up with this video.

I didn't really see the assembly, when I ordered 2 of the regular gears.  but now that I have it fixed and have a spare on hand, I will be good to go for a while. 

here are a few pics of the broken piece.  from start to finish it took maybe 30 miutes.

Thinking I will go the regular meat grinder route versus that attachment......

I am with you there bro, but then again all appliances  as with many things in todays world are all made with a replacement time frame built into them..............
