CHAPTER 13
KITCHENAID MODEL K-4B
1944 Model K-4B - Replaced model K-4A. The K-4B is a very popular long running model . With it's tilt top head, and it's dependable muscular mixing ability, it enjoyed immense sales. The 4qt bowl screws into the base.

ATTACHMENTS
Coffee/cereal grinder.
Pea sheller
Citrus juicer
Ice cream maker
Post-war versions of the attachment (that went with the K5-A, K4-B, 3C, 4C, and so on) lack the indicator and were first made with both wood buckets. If I recall correctly, the wood-bucket units were made in two sizes. At some point the wood bucket was replaced with the green fiberglass unit, which came with a reversible stand that allowed use on either of KA's mixer offerings (tilt head or bowl lift).
Pelican slicer
Rotary slicer
Meat grinder
Can opener
Colander & sieve
This is the style that fits in the top of the standard mixing bowl. This design is necessary on the tilt-head mixers (for obvious reasons) but eventually they started using the same design for the K5-A.
Hot/cold water jacket
Splash shield
Pouring chute
Oil dropper
Knife sharpener
Silver Buffer
Ice cream maker
INSTRUCTION MANUAL
Your blog is very interesting! I have the instruction book and just listed for sale! I was pleased to find some history on this item before I let it go, as the mixer was a treasured family piece when I was a child. https://www.etsy.com/listing/174835059/kitchen-aid-k4-b-instructions-and
ReplyDeleteI appreciate all the effort you went to with his history! Thank you! I have a K4-B Serial number 4B48533. I understand it was produced between 1944-1962. Can you narrow it down at all?

The above is a manual copy of a form that came with a "KitchenAid K4-B Instructions and Recipes" booklet. Please note that this is one list and may not be representative of all attachments/items available for the mixer. Any and all mistakes are mine, I had to hand type because we can't upload pictures. It is correct to the best of my ability.
