A nice photo of all of the gears meshing. The sun and ring gears are pulled back slightly for the view.

Both shafts, a ring gear, a welded sun gear assembly with large bearing, full planet loads.

This is a slightly closer view of the shafts with a full load of planet gears on them. One has sun and ring gears too.
