Hobart 70040 Upper Clutch Gear D300 Mixer

Product Description

The HOBART 70040 is a genuine OEM upper clutch gear designed for commercial mixer service. This gear sits in the upper clutch assembly and transfers rotational force between drivetrain components, maintaining consistent speed and torque delivery during mixing cycles. At 3.7 inches long, 2.9 inches wide, and 0.95 inches in height, it is a compact but critical part of the mixer drive train. Weighing 0.315 pounds, it is a direct OEM replacement that meets original manufacturer tolerances. Commercial kitchen technicians and authorized service professionals install this part during mixer overhauls or when worn clutch components cause slipping, noise, or inconsistent bowl speed.

This upper clutch gear is designed for use in commercial foodservice mixer applications. It is a fit for the Hobart D300 mixer, which is a widely deployed unit in restaurants, bakeries, catering operations, and institutional kitchens. Replacement is typically required when the gear shows visible wear, chipping, or causes engagement problems in the clutch assembly. OEM specification ensures the part seats correctly without modification during reinstallation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified commercial kitchen equipment technician or authorized Hobart service professional. Power down and lock out the mixer at the disconnect before disassembling the clutch housing. Inspect surrounding clutch components for wear before reinstalling, as a worn adjacent part can accelerate failure of a new gear. Refer to the Hobart D300 service manual for proper assembly sequence and fastener procedure.
