*ahem... Pardon me for interrupting a SEWING machine thread-- but I need to replace some gears on my Kitchenaid ~ I was just wondering if it is that easy to take apart and do it myself? I like to 'tinker' and my warranty is shot because I put more than 6 cups of oatmeal (making granola!!) in it and nothing else... yet. A 5quart mixer and you aren't allowed to have more than 6 cups of food in that honking bowl! ~~ yes, you are detecting a bit of bitternes.
Anyway~ I, uh, return you to your interesting convo on restoration!
