Before you take that machine apart...

Can you put it back together?
My wife picked up a 20qt Hobart Mixer for our bakery last week. She told me that first gear sounded a bit rough but that was normal for the mixers she has worked with in the past. But it sounded bad.
Last night with the help of my Father-in-law we took it apart to see what the problem was. To make a long story short, someone had taken it apart before and it was very clear they had no idea how to put it back together. After about 2 hours we had it back together working like a song. It’s a beautiful thing when you can get something for about ½ price because someone doesn’t have a clue. I wish she had worked on getting it cheaper, I bet we could have gotten it down another $100 or more.
The pictures where taken before we fixed it. Can you spot one error in assembly?

Is the mixing bowl on the wrong stud?
Let me know if you plan to do some sourdough…
