    Was going through my phone and realized I do have pics of the mess. Here's a few.

    I am going to guess it's the neighbors behind me with their 2nd story house that looks down into the back yard as being the complainers. The front yard/drive way is screened in by a lot of trees and other greenery, somewhat secluded, though it may not look it from the pics.









    And while I have pics out...here is a mixer I tore down today. It's a Hobart type 20 quart. I couldn't lift it onto the bench by myself, so I used the skidsteer to break the base off. Appears to be a decent amount of copper.

    Very Industrious, curious why you scraped out the Hobart 20 quart mixer for a couple of dollars worth of copper, when they're selling at $1500.00 upwards of $2500.00.

    Even if the motor was burned out it would have cost you maybe $500.00 to have it re-wound, you would have recovered this and a lot more in the resale value as a reconditioned unit.

    I had it listed on CL, and a few other sites. No bites. Found a guy that buys them to refurbish. I asked what he would give. It wasn't worth the time to crate it/get it to a terminal.

    Had it been a Hobart brand I am sure it would have sold right away, but it was a Berkel and this potential buyer said they don't sell well.

    All that is left of this mess is the two trailers and the white van.
