I'm new to the equipment world. Just bought a micro excavator yanmar Vio17. 2014 1500hrs. It was working decent when I bought it two weeks ago, but has slowly been getting rougher to spin the house, until finally it swings on its own and has no power. It looks like the small gear on the motor is shredded (see attatched). There doesn't seem to be much info on these repairs in general, nevermind my specific machine. Is this something I can take off on my own, or does the machine need to be split in half? Is the larger table going to be damaged as well with all the metal shavings that are now in the grease? Where do I start.
