A gear drive arrangement for rotating a ring gear of large diameter, as commonly used for rotating the rake structure for a slurry agitator, sedimentation tank, or the like. The gear drive incorporates a novel mounting and torque reactor device on which a plurality of gear members are positioned which equally distribute the torque to the ring gear. The planetary gears are driven by a pinion gear which is flexibly suspended from a gear reduction device. The tension device includes an indicator means for visual observation of the torque being transmitted to the ring gear and rake structure at a given time.
