ABSTRACT:
A lubrication mechanism for directing lubrication to the teeth of the sun gear of a planetary gear set without requiring separate pumping mechanisms wherein the rotating planet carrier has a deflector and generally radially extending passageways so as to collect lubricant within the casing and direct it through the passageways to the outwardly facing sun gear teeth. The passageways are also used for providing visual inspection of the sun gear teeth to determine the amount of wear of the sun gear teeth.
