ABSTRACT:
A planet carrier assembly has a pair of spaced parallel side plates interconnected by body portions with a plurality of aligned aperture pairs formed in the side plates for receiving mounting spindles on which pinion gear members are rotatably supported. Each spindle has a shoulder which contacts a locating surface on one side plate to limit axial movement of the spindle in one direction relative to the side plates. A segmental space is provide at the longitudinal end of each spindle adjacent the shoulder and each space is arranged such that a flat surface thereof faces radially outward at assembly. A retainer plate having complementary radially extending locating surfaces cooperate with the flat surface of the segmental spaces to limit rotation of the spindle relative to the side plates. A retaining ring is secured in one side plate adjacent the retainer plate to limit axial movement of the spindles in the other direction relative to the side plates.
