Rotor is melted down, he said it could be repaired, rotor would be $900 to $1000.00 also need a new rewind and new bearings, shaft needs to be re-tooled. He can do everything but the rotor. His part would be about $600 to $700 dollars. He would have to send rotor out to be redone somewhere back east. That would be about $1700 dollars total. That's a lot. It would be better to start looking for another machine.

I know that this is a hard question. But is there anyone sitting on a KD-10 that would be willing to sell it?
Or is there anyone willing to sell their KD-11 or Kd-12? I know it is hard to part with our machines but I could really use your help. If you have a KD-10 that is just sitting that you would be willing to part out. It would be cheaper to send a couple of parts at a time then to ship the whole machine. Please let me know. Joe |

Hey Steve,
I was running a load of dishes in the KD-10. I am always at home when I used vintage machines. It was about half way through the wash and I smelled it. I immediately went and shut it down and disconnected it. So no the motor was not just sitting there cooking itself. That is why I have have such a hard time that it is that bad. Thanks Steve for all your help. I would appreciate it if everyone would help me look for a donor machine motor etc.. Let me know. Joe |

Please come to the rescue with a good or rebuildable motor for Joe!
I really think he deserves it; he's proved himself a wonderful custodian of the vintage things he already owns. If this was someone making a first post, where they asked the impossible, I'd hold my tongue, but Joe has paid some dues. Joe, if I had one, it would be yours already. |

STEVET!
Here's what I'm wondering, and I think stevet could help more than anyone else with the question: First, what is the part number for the motor? And, Second, does it cross over to anything Hobart? Remember that KitchenAid began as Hobart's "residential" line, based on their commercial stuff, and that the farther back you go, the more parts-sharing there was between the two brands. So, if stevet could chime in here, I think it would be helpful. Even if we don't find that Hobart repair centers have an off-the-shelf replacement, it might be that we find that something of Hobart's used the same motor, and we could find a rebuildable core that way. |

I wanted to say "thanks" for coming up with a motor for this machine. Joe has a very well-cared-for vintage kitchen stocked with lots of goodies, and the KD-10 was intended to be one of the "crown jewels" of his collection. He's had some disappointment, so bad that we all feel it, so your offer is a terrific thing to see.
Joe, I am glad something is breaking loose for you. I know this thread has a lot of ups and downs in it, so kudos for hanging in there. I would not mind having a KD-10 myself one of these days, so you're teaching me things as you go along. |

John, Something told me that you might have a motor hanging around your shop. Glad we can keep that unit going for another 50 years! |
