Hey, this is great news! So happy things are moving your way!
How easy do you think it'll be to get the old basket hub off the shaft, with it broken out around the middle? |

Easy. Spatsbear had just removed it recently to replace the seals and bearings, it shouldn't be too difficult. |

We have been there many times and have gotten a lot of cool machines, some of which are in the museum now.
This place processes about 1/2 of all the old appliances from Pennsylvania and Ohio and maybe a lot more. Ted and I used to rent a 35 foot truck and drive up there and fill it up.
I also loved going there for the newer stuff to buy for parts, or many times for a fee they would let me strip expensive parts off newer refs etc before they get crushed, you can easily take $500 worth of parts off a newer ref and only remove a few pounds of weight so they still can crush the rest.
There is also tons of returned lawn care equipment, water heaters, lawn tractors Etc Etc, sometimes I would buy two and make one new one out out them.
This place is a great resource, its just a good thing I don't live closer, LOL
