A planet gear frame assembly is so configured as to use common parts, whereby another assembly, having a different gear ratio, can be formed using the selfsame common parts. This is achieved by providing the assembly with a frame (12) and at least one pin (28) upon which the planet gear (14) is journalled, a washer (38) being engaged with the frame to retain the pin in place and axially-extending lands (42, 44), all formed at different offset distances from the pin centreline being provided on at least one end of the pin to engage the washer to prevents rotation of the pin relative to the frame. Only different gears and a different frame are required to form the other assembly having another gear ratio. Accordingly, stocking of discrete parts for the differing assemblies is greatly reduced. |
