In one of your pictures you showed a wrench on the quill splines. I got distracted while changing a cutter (didn't finish tightening the nut) and started up the mill with that wrench still on. Not good
I am not sure how bad it is yet but at least some missing gear teeth. That was a bad day in the shop.

Your bad luck is a warning for me to not forget to remove the wrench. It never occurred to me that there is no drive train shear pin to protect the gearbox.
