Wow that's a lot of metal shavings bro. Did the oil smell burned? Looks like you most probably will need a transmission

I think I see some part numbers on the shavings. Seriously, this is not look good. The good news, you have many good options when it come to the 722.

What would you recommend?

I can get a used one and drop it and install in my garage. But if there are better options I might be interested.

I have had excellent results from IPT over the years. I have not, as yet, needed a 722, however I am confident in their ability to provide a top quality product. IPT arranges for all transportation.
