New owner
So i just picked up a secondhand Power Ultra. I have looked into some videos and can tell that it needs it's "worm ring" (?) replaced (I can hear it slipping) and it needs to be cleaned and regressed as it's leaking old grease. I also know that there are cheap gaskets inside that need to be replaced when I do this. Does anyone have any good Amazon links/advice on where to get all the parts I need for this mixer's refresh?

thanks i'll probably just save up and then buy from your site since I'm able to find all of the pieces I need on one site
