I have inherited an older style belle mixer with stand. I am having the problem that the stand does not seem high enough, so the drum hits the barrow when tipped and will not tip out all of the muck. I have used newer belle mixers before with no problem. Does anyone have any hints for me or could they tell me the height of their stand so that I can see if mine is the same. As I said it is the old style which is in 2 parts.

Also I have noticed a slight oil leak (it is a 240V electric). What oil do I need to top it up?

The old stands were a lot lower than there new counter-parts i used to just stand it on a brick under each foot as for the oil leak you can just top it up with gear oil

agreed, we used to do both those. dont buy a newer belle mixer. stick with the old style. repair it if needed. the new ones are complete crap

bought a new belle two weeks ago.

Packed up today.

Sadly, the quality isn't what it used to be.

As for the oil. They use a synthetic gear oil, so make sure that you either use the same, or drain and flush completely, then use a non synthetic.
