That's a bargain if it works. Apparently the date is hidden in the last three digits of the serial number, so February 1998 seems likely. The only sure way is to contact Hobart themselves. They have a great service department. I have used many Hobart mixers in my catering career.

I found this;

As the previous poster mentions, you can't decipher Hobart serial or ML numbers. I have about 30 pieces of Hobart equipment ranging from mixers to slicers to reach-ins to dishwashers and I couldn't make heads or tails of the numbers. Finally, I got hold of someone at Hobart who I emailed all the model numbers, serial numbers and ML numbers to and they emailed me back the month and year of manufacture. Even after I got the information, I still couldn't figure out where in the serial and ML numbers the manufacture dates were buried.

on a a200 there is no oil. this mixer requiers grease. if mixer is leaking oil it is because the grease is broken down .you have to pull tpo cover off mixer remove trans. parts clean out old grease clean all trans. parts reassemble put top cover back on .then make sure mixer runs in all 3-speeds before putting 1.5 cans of -47grease back in grease can be bought @any hobart office

if it has a spec.# instead of a ml.#it would have to be at least 25-30 yrs. old

What you replaced were the contacts on the overload,correct?These 'heaters' look like springs?If so you have other issues.I'm a hobart tech and repair these mixers often.Are you mixing pizza dough?

Im a tech for hobart and have seen old mixers but not that old.Hobart wont have parts but you could goto an electrical supply place,take the switch and ask them for something universal.

Hi,im a hobart tech and know all these mixers well.What kind of mixer are you looking to write about?The differences are the sizes of bowls as 20qt,30qt,40qt,60,qt,80qt,140qt.Pick a mixer and i will write YOUR paper,but i want a fixya rating in return.

man you got an oldie but goodie mixer!im a hobart service tech for 8 years and have only seen about two dozen,unfortuantly parts for these units are exhuasted.as for the sight glass they do become cloudy over time and you cant determine the oil level.use a heavy gear case oil.the only way of telling is to drain the oil or if the unit is loud you should probably cange the oil.

Im not bias on my opinion,but from the repairs i do on mixers hobart mixers are far superior than other manufactures.Hobart is over 100 yr old company that started with mixers and their service dept. is good.unlike any mixer out on the market they mirror off of hobart.

sorry my friend but that is a very old mixer and we dont sell them anymore (im a tech for hobart).the only suggestion i have is to find a machine shop in your area and bring them the old gears and see if they can machine them for you.are they broken?whats the problem.
