Inverter or battery problem??

The cables that feed the inverter is 2/0 but the cables that connect the batteries in parallel are the original ones and may not be 2/0. Could this be the problem?

Gear stripped

The problem with my steps was that the gear on the end of the motor had worn out. I was wondering if anyone knows how to replace this gear and not have to buy a whole motor assembly?
